It is easy to say “I run music and movement activities,” but what goes beyond the props and seemingly similar activities is where the heart of the matter is.
The choice of songs & activities is important, but more so the knowledge of its patterns, underlying functions, and application to both music as well as developmental learning domains.
It is equally important to know how to introduce and scaffold concept to different learners, which requires an understanding of the age group, developmental expectations, as well as differences in learning modalities.
At the end of the day, it’s not just bringing out bells and shaking to the music— it is a process of research, study, practice, in order to understand the most effective ways to bring out the best in each child, while respecting their autonomy in learning.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
