Assignment 2

1. Psychomotor learning is the learning involving mental processes controling muscular activity. Example: Marching to the beat of the music.
2. Cognitive learning deals with the knowledge acquired. Example: Instruments that are used in music.
3. Affective learning concerns itself with a feeling response to music. Example: Songs that express feelings of composer.
4. Teacher-centered learning features the teacher primarily as a lecturer who presents material to the class by defining and explaining. Example: Defining whole note, half note, quarter note, and eighth note. Child-centered learning is learning that actively involves students in the learning process. Example: The teacher draws the different notes on the board and the students try to determine the value of the notes, clap the notes, and name the notes.
5. I think that my learning style is very helpful to me in understanding what I am reading or taking notes on. In general, I am a visual learner and I learn faster and better by getting a visual of the concept being discussed.

About Me

I am Christina Rose Mikucki. I have a mom, dad, an older sister, older brother, and younger brother. I live in Norridge, Illinois. I am a sophomore at NIU and am majoring in Elementary Education. I started playing the flute when I was eighth grade. I played in the symphonic band all four years of high school. Music has impacted my life greatly and has brought meaning to my life. I learned a lot through being in band, such as, marching. I think that music can influence many people and everyone should have an opportunity to be involved in musical activities. Music classes are very important because music teaches children more than just how to sing and play instruments, but also the history of music.
