Respond to the following scenario using the knowledge you have gained from reading Functional Area 7: Creative.
The program director is doing classroom walkthroughs. When she gets to your room, she observes that you are playing music from YouTube on the whiteboard. The students are singing and dancing along to songs by Gracie's Corner and JoolsTV. The director pulls you to the side and says you should play less of this "hip hop" music and play more traditional children's music instead. What would you do?
I would let the director know that this type of music promotes creativity. We cannot teach creativity but we however can promote creativity . Sticking to the traditional ways will limit their creativity experiences.
Introducing children to different genres helps them to develop a wide range of musical taste and it will also help them to understand and connect with others.
I would tell my director that playing all types of music is important to preschoolers. As long as the music has rhythm and contains appropriate lyrics, it keeps the students dancing and engaged. I will tell her that other music is played during relaxing, eating, and writing portions of the day.
