music, you can read and write
(communicate) with anyone and
everyone the world over!

3 Assessment Evidence:

what it looks like, and complete an activity sheet.

4. Opening Hook: Play music as students enter classroom.
1. Allow students to close their eyes and listen to music then discuss how the music
made them feel.
2. Music can be broken down mathematically using money in a way they will never
forget!
3. Music is a universal language!

5. Instructional Strategies/Student Activities:

Music can be fun and not difficult to learn once they understand how it can be
broken down mathematically. Music is a universal language that enables the
student to communicate all over the world. Now that we have learned the
standard notation; is there anyone who wants to learn to play an instrument?
