IPI level: Teacher led instruction with Student Engagement
Teaching Strategy Utilized: Day 1: Students will scan the music and look for the type of notes they will be singing in the first two measures. Discuss eighth notes and how many counts each receives in 4/4 time. Count them aloud and have students chant the words in rhythm. Day 2: Discuss half and quarter notes and locate in the music. What method do you use for counting? Explain. Review 1st and 2nd endings and how to read through the music. Day 3: Determine who has the melody at B. What do you know about descant? Who should sing the descant part? Day 4: Work for part independence. Evaluate as a large group. Day 5: What does the music at D have in common with the music at A? Differences? Divide into groups and create choreography that matches the style of the piece. Day 6: Discuss the style of the piece of music and how to sing expressive elements and add into the performance. Rehearse choreography in front of the mirrors. Day 8: Small group evaluation of singing and choreography. Day 9: Analyze and create a checklist of items that the students want to improve. Day 10: Record the performance and listen for improvements. Day 11: Polish and perform as if for an audience.
