Application
When I taught kindergarten and preschool as the music teacher for the week at the Yocum Institute, I taught lessons involving Africa and Native American music. I had to realize that students may or may not have previous knowledge of these cultures, and introduce these cultures by discovering some of the students' previous knowledge of these subjects.
