keeping beat or pulse to a piece
like a march

Create
improvisation

movement

dynamics

This will be
beginning in
November when the

the younger students about dynamics
and to show contrasting dynamics in
a piece of music (surprise symphony

some of the
classical
pieces

This will be
beginning in

Use program Fun with composers to

teach students about classical music

music composers
through the
pieces

This will be

Be sure that when students are

introduced to a classical piece of
music they also get to hear a little
bit about the composer so they
understand who it was written by

Indicators and Measures of Goal Achievement:

and will understand various composers. Students will be able to name a few
classical music pieces by name as well as a grasp on the concepts being
taught through the music.
