Unit 1 holistic development

The importance of social interaction and connections on learning is emphasized in Erikson's developmental theory for the stages of psychosocial development. As foundation phase instructors, we can't overlook the importance of building relationships with our students, as well as providing chances for them to build meaningful relationships with their classmates and the impact these relationships have on their learning. If our students are to feel safe, appreciated, supported, and cared for in our classrooms, meaningful interactions are essential. As a result, some understanding of learning and developmental theories that emphasize and support this is also required.

Unit 4 Arts Integration

Teaching and learning practices that address outcomes in many areas simultaneously while enabling learners to demonstrate their grasp of concepts and abilities through the arts are referred to as arts integration. Arts integration is a teaching method that emphasizes active participation in teaching and learning activities, as well as experiential learning, genuine learning, collaborative learning, problem-solving skills, and reflection. When planning arts integration activities, keep in mind that there must be a seamless integration of two or more subjects (e.g., music and visual arts; music and language; music and math; music and life skills) and that both subjects must be experienced and engaged with at the same time within an activity (Silverstein & Layne, 2010).

Unit 2 listening and responding to music

Elements of music

Music elements are the fundamental components of music. We may make music by merging the different elements. Tone is a distinctive musical element that gives music its distinct sound and allows us to distinguish between music and noise.

The following are the fundamental aspects of music:

duration (of tone) – includes beat, meter, rhythm, and tempo pitch in music (of tone)
quality (of tone) intensity (of tone)
