Hello everyone, my name is Rupali Khiva and today I created my podcast discussing music and movement and its implications for early childhood teacher. Before I move forward, I want to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people, the traditional owners of the land on which we are gathered, and I pay our respects to their elders, both past and present. Much research shows that children start reacting on music and movement by birth, as they react to familiar voice, sound, and music. To start with this podcast, I will tell you my music journey. As I said, child react to music and movement by birth, but the earliest one I remember is the nursery rhymes. The first poem which I still remember is, Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. We all were singing this in the classroom by doing actions. After moving forward in my musical journey, I started learning harmonium, which is a cousin of accordion, in the music class. And the first thing I learnt on harmonium was, Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Sa, which is 7 times rhythm in Punjabi and Hindi music. It is the starting point to learn music. Then later I started singing shabads, which is a prayer in Punjabi in the morning assembly daily. I still remember one shabad written by Baba Fritji, who was a saint in my culture, which is Farida Bureda Palakar, which means, answer evil with goodness. After that, I started participating in every singing and dancing competitions and gone to the national level. This was my musical journey when I was a child. Since there are recollections that provided me with the self-assurance to act on a platform, I recall these experiences. It essentially forced my performing nervousness away. The experiences I found as a result are now as a part of who I am. Consequently, according to Cooper 2016, toddlers may acquire the fundamental abilities while also experiencing the thrill of becoming artists through music and movement. Youngsters will be better prepared for achievement in school as well as a life of artistic participation when instructors successfully combine the arts and teaching throughout this curriculum. Children adore participating in early childhood education through music and movement. It enables them to communicate their thoughts and feelings, learn how to collaborate with others and grow in self-assurance and creativity. Youngsters gain much from music and movement. They aid in the formation of abilities, including mental growth, problem solving, expressing oneself and social development in children. Learning for children is inadequate in early childhood education without music and movement. As stated by Hanna in 2016, an educator is responsible for fostering an atmosphere in which students may acquire knowledge and have plenty of opportunity to study and develop. According to Roy Baker and Hamilton, we cannot teach or transform art into language like English. Instead, it can express very particular linguistic concepts. Edwards, Gaggini and Forman stated that educators in modern era have a wide range of tools including visuals as well as other digital resources. For instance, you may state that a piece of music is exceptionally gorgeous but you are unable to truly comprehend it until you heard it. Thank you.
