A. BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The preset Philippine National University was originally the

Philippine Normal School (PNS), the first institution of higher

Philippines. Created by ACT No. 74 of the Philippine Commission,
it gave Filipinos training in the science of teaching. The PNS
formally opened on September 1, 1901, with Mr. Elmer B Bryan as
its superintendent. Seven other Americans succeeded him before
the designation of Mr. Manuel Escarilla as the first Filipino
superintendent in 1939.
With the signing of the charter, Republic Act No. 416 on
June 18, 1949 during the terms of President Elpidio Quirino, PNS
was converted into Philippine Normal College, authorized to grant
undergraduate and graduate degrees in education. Republic Act
6515 mandated the offering of doctorate and their academic
programs relevant to the training of teachers. On December 6,
1991, the Philippine Normal College was converted into the
Philippine Normal University. Finally, on January 12, 1992, it
was elevated into a full-fledged university by President Corazon
Aquino.
Dr. Macario naval was installed as the president of the
college. He was succeeded by Dr. Emiliano C. Ramirez in 1957, Dr.
Gregorio C. Borlaza in 1971, Dr. Bonifacio P Sibayan in 1972, Dr.
Edilberto P. Dagot in 1981, Dr. Gloria G. Salandanan in 1991,
Atty. Lilia S. Garcia in 1998, Dr. Nilo L. Rosas in 2002, Atty.
Lutgardo B. Barbo in 2006, and Dr. Ester B. Ogena in 2011.
In recognition of its continues leadership in teacher
education, PNU ws designated as he National Center for Teacher
Education by virtue of R. A. 9647 on June 30, 2009. The main
campus of the university is in the City of Manila with branches

2. Objectives of the Course

As student teachers, this course helps us to hone our

mastery of the teaching methods that we will apply as
professional teachers. The experience of this course develops our

creativity on how to transfer our knowledge to the learners. This

teaching experience improves the qualities that a good teacher
needs to have each time we have our Teaching Demonstration.

1. ACTIVITIES OF

STUDENT TEACHER

As student teacher, we are required to complete number

of hours at the PNU- ITL. We were assigned in a specific
level or both elementary and high school level. Being a
student of a conservatory, and as a teacher we were also
required by our Cooperating Teacher, Professor Pacita Narzo
to have an auxiliary lesson for the PNU-ITL students
especially those who are interested to learn music
instruments and this is for free. This auxiliary is a
challenging task, to teach in a classroom then to teach
music instruments individually.

1. Working with the School Personnel

2. Working with the Cooperating Teacher

Our Off Campus is at the Philippine Normal UniversityInstitute of Teaching and Learning. The Cooperating Teacher is
Professor Pacita Narzo, she is currently having his doctorate
degree at University of the Philippines. Professor Narzo started
to instruct us in our off campus by assigning us in our
respective levels. We made our own lesson plans for our topic and
she corrects it and she lets us add new and more interesting
styles for our teaching demonstrations. Professor Narzo helps us
to be more creative in capturing our students attention for our
lesson. She always remind us, the student teachers, to make our
classroom always clean, organized and ready for our next class.
She also taught us on how to make a quarterly exams and on how to
compute grades.

3. Working with the Faculty and Staff

The faculty and staff of the PNU are hospitable. They always
greet us with a smile in their faces. This made us more
comfortable in our Off Campus and stay here. They are very
friendly even if you are new in their institute. This is a kind
of environment a person wants to work in.

2. WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS

1. Orientation and Observations

Before we started our demonstration, we first observed
the music under Professor Narzo. The first class that we
have observed was Grade IX, they had their group
presentations about the Renaissance and Baroque Period. We
saw how Professor Narzo graded them and she explained why
she gave that grade. Professor Narzo also connected their
group work in the values that they can acquire from that
group work.
The students in ITL are disciplined in their class.
They answer and cooperate on whatever the teacher asks them
to do.

2. Full- time Participation

Grade IX MABUTI (Tuesdays 7:30-8:30 am)
I was assigned to teach grade 9 students and my topic first
topic was The Classical Period Historical Background, this
includes events, famous people, arts, architecture and the
musical style of that era. At first I was nervous to talk, but
Professor Narzo told me that I know what my topic is and that I
mastered my topic so there is no excuse for me to be nervous. The
students cooperated in my first teaching demonstration and the
feed backs I got from my classmates are good.
Grade V (Tuesdays 11:00-12:00nn)
My second teaching demonstration is in grade V students, my
topic is the directions of melody (ascending, descending and
stationary). The music room was occupied by another class
observation so we have to transfer in a different room. I
borrowed a keyboard from the college department for my music
samples. The grade V loves to sing, so I started with a sung
greeting capturing the attention of the students. I used familiar
folk songs in analyzing the directions of the melody. At first
they are shy to participate, but after a while everyone started
to raise their hands for recitation.
Grade IX Mabuti (Tuesdays 7:30-8:30)

My second teaching demonstration with them and my final

demonstration. My topic for them was the Romantic Composers. I
was excited to teach this topic because I have a lot of
information to share with them. I was able to connect the
Romantic composers compositions in their generation, because
some of the famous works were used as a background music of the
television shows their age are in to. Unfortunately, they had
their class picture scheduled during their Music Period. My
excitement was dampened because I had a limited time to explain
my lessons adequately. But I was able to teach them and share my
knowledge for 20 minutes. Besides in real life teaching we cannot
predict what or how our teaching will be.

3. Summary
All the classes I handled, I learned something from them.
For the elementary level is to have patience and to show
appreciation each time they recite. And to always have them sing,
for there is no music class without singing. I should have added
a few dance motivations for the grade V so that it will be more
fun for them.
For the Grade IX students, they are very curious on the
topic of their music subjects. They are eager to know more and
they are having fun whenever there is a listening material
especially a video clip. It helps the student appreciate the
culture of other country and the effect of Western music in our
society today.

Music, PSME Seminar for Music Teachers

E. EVALUATION OF EXPERIENCES

In my experience of observing and teaching music to them I

learned a many things. That is the creativity, styles, methods
and how to motivate the students to participate. It is also
important that we teachers understand the cognitive level of the
students, to help them understand the lessons without spoon
feeding them.
In a music class, the students should be lively and singing.
It is important too to encourage them to sing and let them
explore the world of music and to always incorporate it in our
Philippine culture.
I had no idea that Ill be a teacher one day. But after our
In Campus and Off Campus, I appreciate the students reaction
each time I share music to them.
