Lesson Plans

I have posted many lesson plans that I have used in my own elementary general music classroom. These plans are organzied into categories listed on the sidebar. Just click on any category to view the plans in their entirety. For ease of navigation I have indexed each individual lesson. The index page can be found as a sub menu of the general music lesson plan.

Here is a description of each category:

Expression: These lessons are designed to draw students attention to the ways in which musicians use dynamics, tempo, articulation and phrasing to create expression in music.

Melodic Shape: These lessons use iconic representation to teach the concept of how melodies move through steps, skips and repeats and high and low.

Popular Music: These lessons are designed to enable students to participate in popular music through dancing, singing and engaging in cover projects.
