LESSON OBJECTIVE:
It is important to remember that lessons won’t always stick to plan and of course, teachers have plan
for the unexpected! Being able to adapt and respond to the teaching situation presented on the day is a
vital part of the teacher’s role, but here are some guiding principles for effective lessons.
Lessons should reflect systemically on the
effectiveness of the lesson and approaches
to teaching. They should:
• Contribute to nurturing a love of music,
learning and sense of curiosity in pupils
• Focus on developing the musician, rather than
solely on the means (the instrument)
• Begin and end with music
• Start with the end in mind! The clearer you
are about where you want them to get, the
better you’ll be able to help them get there.
• Impart knowledge and develop understanding
through effective use of lesson time
• Provide practice goals and practice strategies
to consolidate and extend the knowledge
and understanding pupils have acquired in
the lesson
• Include some discussion about the aims of
next lesson
