In the general classroom, sequential learning is very important. Sequential learning basically means learning in order. If a student learns in order, they will be more likely to actually learn the material. If a student is not taught in order, they may become confused and not learn the material. A lot of topics, such as learning music, need to be learned step by step starting from the most basic elements and building their way to more complicated material and elements.
Rote learning steps
1. sing the song together while tapping a steady beat
2. use hand signs to sing the song
3. practice moving fingers in the air while singing
4. play the song on the piano, one phrase at a time
Great connection to cross-curricular activities. Sequence is so vital to a students success. Success within boundaries!
