Reflection 9: Music 2

What did you learn from the process you engaged in to create this music lesson? What did you learn from the actual presentation experience? 


I learned that using folk song tunes to make up a song using the core is a VERY beneficial process. It is a great tool to use when you need your students to memorize and ingrain something into their mind, for example what a pronoun is. 


I felt like our presentation went really well, but I feel that when teaching a song you need to be sure you have great classroom management control. If not you will lose some of the students to miss behavior and not everyone will learn the song.


So What is important for you to remember and learn? 


It is important to remember to  pay attention to the lyrics you use as well as how the students sing them. As well as be patient as your students learn the song, it may take some tume.


Now What are your next steps?


My next steps are to continue to build my creative arts files. The more resources I have the better. I will use this method a lot in my teaching. I think it is a great way for students to learn, and it links what they know to another part of the brain.
