Topic: Children like music and not Noise.
Hello,
Hope grace and mercy find you.
It's a holiday.
But, have you thought of this " Why do children remember Lyrics music or scenes in movies but cannot remember what was taught in classroom?"
I decided to understand, this because it is disheartening to teach children and they cannot recollect what was taught.
So I decided to undertake a surgery of a typical Ghanaian Music and Movie.
Here are the things I found.
1. Lyrics (words)
2. Sound
3. Visuals/Pictures/Images
4. Concept and Content
5. Packaging
But, but is there any difference between a teacher and an Artist?
No. We are all the same. A Great Artist is a Great Teacher and a Great Teacher is a Great Artist.
The problem in our schools is that most teachers do not use good and conversational words (Lyrics).
We also do not use sound or Images during our teaching and learning process.
Most of of our lessons are not packaged. They are raw and unattractive.
Children like adults cherished packaged information.
Musicians do not just sing, they plan (Lesson Planning), look for the best sound (Assembling Teaching Resources), submit work for editing (Vetting) and then begin to sell their product (lesson) to their audience (learners).
They value their audience (learners) and therefore take pain in planning and the choice of content.
If the music flops they don't blame market (children). They look for solutions and come back with better one or a remix of the old one.
So, please it is time you teach like the musician or an Artist.
Children like songs. Children love images. Children love music.
Be the teacher you would like for yourself and children.
Thank you.
