Name: Leandro Leon, Kaylah Taylor Grade: 6-8 Class: General Music Title: What is Music?

Musical Focus: Rhythm, Form, Call and Response, Free Improvisation, Texture, and Dynamics. Materials: Musical Instruments, and the Internet. Standards Addressed: Arts: Music: 6-8 Enduring Understanding 1: Cognition and reflection are required to appreciate, interpret, and create with artistic intent. (MU.912.C.1) Benchmark: 2. Compare, using correct music vocabulary, the aesthetic impact of a performance to one's own hypothesis of the composer's intent. (MU.68.C.1.2) Enduring Understanding 2: Assessing our own and other's artistic work, using criticalthinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, is central to artistic growth. (MU.912.C.2) Enduring Understanding 3: The process of critiquing works of art lead to development of critical-thinking skills transferable to other contexts. (MU.912.C.3) Objectives: Understand: The importance of form (perhaps the backbone/skeleton) in music, Improvising rhythmical concepts using just sound, what is not music (4'33 might be a contender), and the importance of silence (silence is silver). Encounter: New perspectives on how someone else would define music. How some musical (even nonmusical) ideas can be made more clear when put along with certain concepts such as movies, video games, theater, etc. More connection among peers with combination of free improvisation, and call and response. Assessment: Each and every student will partner up as a pair of two and develop a call response musical phrase. After two minutes (two more times) each student has to pair up with a different student and make a new phrase. Explain what just happened (or have the students explain) and get a little in with more depth with the topic at hand.

Preparation -Firstly, we will start by discussing the difference between music and abstract art/music. We will show the students by using different forms of media by what they believe is music and what is not music -We will find music of four different genres and periods. Explain what each time period meant to music and also give them the reference of the name of the song, time period, and composers name Process and Personalization 1-We will start the lesson by introducing the lesson with silence. By introducing a John Cage composition 433 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN2zcLBr_VM 2- After listening to this piece, I will ask students to group themselves in groups of two, to come up with a musical response to this piece. Whether its adding a melody to it, noncoherent sound effects 3-We will ask the students to make sure they take notes of the pieces that are being presented because there will be a vote on which piece wins for the class 4-The next piece of music will be, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO8Y7hdD6Qk The Ocarina of Time from Zelda which is a video game music. I will ask of the students to switch partners and find a new partner. This time around students will be ask to use the orff instruments to produce a musical response line. Everyone will get a chance to improvise theyre line with their partner (1 instrument=2 people) 5-The last piece will be a Beethoven piece that everyone in the class may be familiar with Moonlight Sonata. I will bring the class back together and ask what they feel is the difference between each piece and which one seems more musical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck 6-After the lesson, we will have the students on a piece of paper. Drop their vote on the music we heard which is favorable to them and the one they liked the most: 433, The Ocarina of Time or Moonlight Sonata. To keep the suspense the voting tally would not be pulled until the next class Notes/Extensions The purpose of this class was to expose students to different types of music. We hear music extensively in our lives. Even like video games and pure silence. This was an approach to let the students see the creativity and no boundaries, we have in music
