week 8

This week in class we learned different ways to teach the concept of dynamics. we also spent a lot of time going over our requirements for the multicultural project. i have decided to do the country of Brazil. during our recorder session we learned the note F#. then we learned how to incorporate sound into books.

To learn dynamic we read the story Piglet Brothers and used our voices as instruments. in cour class the teacher assigned different students to different words in the story. I had the first word ( at the bottom). the student had create a sound for the word that they were assigned.

It is important to learn multiple ways of learning because you may have students who learn in different learning styles than yourself. putting a story together with sounds helps to make the book more engaging to those who are listening.

Music helps to bring out creativity in children of any age. it can make a basic concept like dynamics more appealing to them. when you add the element of creativity to your lesson and it also helps to stimulate the children cognitive skills. since the students are directed to make decisions about what sounds to create.
