Watch Kiara deliver a music lesson to a mixed group of children who have different special needs, some have a developmental age of 4 to 7-years-old and others who have a visual impairment.
Kiara wants her learners to interact more with the music and thinks this lesson is suitable for her group. The steps she takes are:
- listen to Take You Home on Play It!
- explore a variety of sensory resources to be used in the activities
- include technology in music making
- let each child explore and experiment with the musical instruments
- play along with the song as an ensemble
Use the Take You Home resources to help plan your activities.
