Growing up, my parents insured I had many opportunity’s to take part in creative arts. I firstly joined a dance group at 6 years old in the local community, followed by a drama grouped based in Paisley named Pace. Being fortune enough to get chosen to sing in the Scottish National Youth Choir, I had many opportunity’s to perform in Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall and this is where I also had the chance to learn how to play the violin. I had a real passion for music, dance and drama.

In today’s lecture, I found myself day dreaming back to the days that my life was filled with the pleasure and joy of the arts. It also made me think about how much I have drifted away from my these aspects in my life. Through out this module, I would like to gain more skills and knowledge so I become a creative teacher. I would also like to help children have a positive experience with the arts growing up just like I did.

After exploring the Tallis Habits Peadagogy Wheel (Thomas Tallis School, 2017) I discovered that where many ways that we can implement the arts through out the curriculum. This has gave me confidence that I will be able to teach arts through out the years drawing on my past experiences. Looking ahead, I am excited to share my knowledge and skills with my peers and also to have fun in the classroom!
