I learned that I have a lot to work on when it comes to singing but until I become that novice musician, I can still be using music and singing in my classroom. It was harder than I thought to come up with a book that both matched a curriculum standard and was easy to put a tune/lyrics with, but I think my group still did a good job. I think that the Industrial Revolution group really got the idea of this lesson and did a very nice job of making the information memorable. During our groups presentation I had to get brave and sing louder than I normally do in a group, but with my team members it made it a lot easier. I help my mini group learned the pitch of the song and tried to teach them how to follow the pitch by raising and lowering their hands with the pitch levels, but for someone like myself who struggles with pitch (tone deaf), this was a little difficult but I gave it a try anyway. I believe that if I show my students that it's okay to not be an amazing singer in order to sing with the class then they will be able to gain knowledge and confidence while in my class, and that is something I want my students go get while I am their teacher! :)
