Music Learning from Afar: A Learning Module in Music for Grade 10 is chiefly envisioned to respond the needs of the learner while at home for more ample, adequate, relevant, and quality instructional materials to conform the new normal in the curriculum to be at par with the standards.

Coherent instruction with adequate and constant activities guarantees mastery of the skills in the three levels of assessment (As, Of, and For) necessary for success in learning. The topics are based as far as possible on independent sources, and on the actual research of the writers, and it is hoped that in many cases fresh subjects have been treated, new and interesting information given. As instances of the kind of music lessons or sub-topics embraced and the general mode of treatment adopted, each lesson is upfront, ingenious, with sufficient opportunity for activities/application to help learners develop and employ the philosophy of music, the engraved illustrations have been specially prepared for the work, and will speak for themselves.

This module will complement in one way or another to advance the progress of the individual learners who can use the familiarity of music in attaining individual progress; as well as in directly or indirectly connected with Music, owing to the great spread of musical publications, practices, proliferations performances and recitals, interest in the subject, and to the enormous expansion in the broad-spectrum of music which has taken place since the commencement of the present era.

Considering the teaching and learning process, this module includes the following essential parts:

Learning Through – This feature of this module provides the discussions on the necessary knowledge and skills for the students to use as they progress towards the attainment of the objectives of this module. Activities, music files, and video clip links are also provided to give students further musical experiences for better learning.

Learning Engagement – This essential part of the module provides exercises and activities to ensure mastery of the lessons, and to let students reflect on the significance of the lesson in real-life situations. It includes processing and application of knowledge through creating, performing, analysis, and others to prepare them for the assessments.

Reinforcement – This section of the module includes additional exercises needed to enhance learning. These exercises were formulated by the teacher and/or taken from the textbook which is the main reference of this module.

Learning Output - The learners are provided with written tests, performance-based assessment and analysis examination that they can answer independently during synchronous and/or asynchronous sessions.

Learning Outcome - In this feature of the module, the learners are given the opportunity to apply their learned knowledge and skills in real-life situations as performers, music analysts and music historians. This is the learner’s performance task showing how they apply learned musical skills.

The Role of Parents The School-Home or Parent-Teacher partnership is very vital in the students’ academic

achievement and success in education. Parents play an important role in their children’s

attitudes about learning and support learning at home. This partnership is an important

factor to help students reach their maximum potential. As we shift to a new paradigm of

the online teaching-learning process, we believe that educating students cannot be

achieved by teachers’ efforts alone. Parents’ involvement in the education of their

children is essential. Thus, parents are encouraged to play the following roles to supplement that of the teachers.

• Setting up parental controls for a safe and worry-free screen time of their children

• Providing physical and technical support in setting up the children’s learning

station at home, checking internet connection and any laptop malfunction

• Providing a conducive place for their children to work during live lessons, with

good lighting, quiet and comfortable venue for learning

• Providing necessary school materials/equipment needed as required by the

subject teachers for their children’s project/ output/ performances/ activities

• Making sure that their children are dressed appropriately (school uniform) while

participating in live lessons

• Establishing routines/schedules and house rules in online learning

• Monitoring the conduct of proper behavior of their children during live

lessons(synchronous)

• Ensuring that the child is on task within the given schedule

• Monitoring the children’s work constantly by browsing the module or logging on

to the PSD e-desk /learning portal

• Monitoring their children’s progress in school regularly, by constantly checking

their work through browsing the module and logging on to the PSD e-desk portal

and making sure that the homework/ assigned activities are done

• Motivating their children to do their best in everything that they do by giving

commendations on their achievements and encouraging them to work

independently

• Maintaining harmonious parent-teacher relationship and attending scheduled

parent-teacher conferences and other important school meetings

• Reading communication sent by the school , accomplishing the required response

for each letter and confirming the receipt of the letter through PSD E-desk

• Answering the school’s online survey and correspondence as honestly and

promptly as possible

• Communicating clarifications or issues with the teacher within the official work

hours

• Keeping in touch with the teachers to keep themselves up-to-date with their

children’s progress

• Raising issues and concerns through the proper forum

• Complying with the school policies on discipline and integrity

• Following protocols set by the various school offices in transacting academic

concerns, payments, and other school-related matters

• Maintaining a happy disposition to create a safe space for their children where

they can lay out all their issues or concerns that are bothering them to treat their

parents as their friends
