|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Move It Vol 2 Track 4 "Surprise" Symphony by Haydn (students
enter listening to music/go directly to movement on smartboard)
2. Ask students to echo melodic line.
3. Ask students to decode melodic line while playing piano. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Tell students we will practice writing and playing one and two
sounds to a beat.
2. Use popsicle stick slide and demonstrate the rhythmic pattern to
"Surprise" Symphony.
3. Have them echo, then decode. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Make several more patterns, using the pretzel music symbol to
signal when done.
2. Have several students make patterns in beat boxes.
3. Tell students we will play a game using one and two sounds to a
beat.
4. Have students pat a steady beat as they echo-sing each phrase of
"Lost My Shoe."
5. Show music on the smartboard. Have everyone sing together.
6. Discuss which measures of the melody use a singing voice and which
measures use a speaking voice.
7. Explain that the last part of the song will be divided as a leader
sings a question and the students will sing an answer.
8. Practice walking around the room in a steady beat while singing.
When the speaking section starts, stop moving and stand in one place
until the end. |

D. Independent Practice-
1. Ask each child to remove one shoe.
2. Students walk around and sing the first part of the song. Stop
and speak the second part.
3. The teacher chooses a show and sings "Yoo hoo! Whose shoe?" One
student answers "My shoe! Thank You!"
4. That student then goes to the xylophone and plays the steady (walking)
beat on the xylophone while the game continues.
5. Add more students playing xylophones as the game continues.
6. When all instruments are used, the next student can "bump" a student
off. |

E. Checking for understanding-
1. Assess students if they answer leader using the head voice and
matching pitch.
2. Assess students if they can play a steady beat on the xylophone.
3. Assess students if they correctly copy the pattern of popsicle
sticks. |

|
|
F. Closure-
1. Show Flashcards with rhythmic patters and have students echo
pattern with du and du-de
2. Close with an echo song ("Oh my") |
