Name: Karina Cabral  Date: 5/04/04

Teacher: Ms. Ojeda                          Grade: 4th

Music Concept:

Teach the students to read music notation and be able to play the step bells.

National Standard for Music Education:

2. Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repetoire of music

Music:

“Ebeneezer Sneezer," "Riding in the Buggy," "Five Angels"

Objective:

The objective of this lesson is to get the students to learn how to read music and play the step bells.

Materials:

CD, track 34,1,10

Key Term:

Pitches moving up and down, beat, steps, stepping.                                                                                                                                                      

Directed Lesson/Activities:

Step 1: The students will be handed the lyrics of the three songs.
Step 2: They will listen and sing along each song.
Step 3: As they listen to the songs individually, I want to make sure that all the students learn the Lyrics, this will help once we start to incorporate the instruments.                 
Step 4: Once the students already know the three songs, I will then asked them to tell me what did they find different in each song. The students will be expected to know the following: steady beat, pitches go up and down, and beat.
Step 5: As they finish telling me the differences and similarities between these songs, then I am going to introduce them to the step bells. If possible, each student will be handed one step
bell, if not, then they will have to play the resonator bars.
Step 6: I will then hand the resonator bars or the step bells to each student. Before we start playing I will point out the scale in which each song is play. For their understanding I will explain the fact that music is written in a kind of alphabetic form from A-G, but that after G  it repeats again. I will point out the letter on the resonator bars or the step bells in order to make clear when they have to play and what bell or bar they have to play.
Step 7: Lastly, the students will be able to start playing the instruments.

Assessment:

The student must be able to play the three songs on their own.

Accommodations for Speical Learners:

In order to make this lesson engaging for all types of students, I will make it as simple as possible and will provide a lot of help. I was thinking of grouping such class into groups of four so that the students can help each other and build a learning community. This will help special learners to incorporate into the class. One of my targets are the cognitive Impaired, imitating others will help them.

Follow-Up:

The students will have the opportunity to select any song that they like and play it in front of their peers. For this activity, there will be assign dates for each student to present.
