Four brass music lessons with resources. Lesson one; what is loud, what is quiet? Lesson two introduces a musical note and rhythm. Lesson three introduces a musical instrument (the trumpet). Lesson four explores a scale and the octave.
It is essential for these lessons to have a trumpet and a keyboard.
Each activity in each lesson plan is colour coded. Blue signifies practical activities. Red lettering informs the teacher of a discussion activity. Black writing signifies plenary activities and/or analysis.
Diagrams, images and other resources are included in this resource.
A 21 lesson scheme of work based around the novel; Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. The novel is an interesting survival story of a very young boy left stranded in the wilderness following a plane crash. It is written for primary children and in particular encourages boys reading. The scheme of work; writing to instruct includes activities aimed to teach skim reading, comprehension, sequencing, writing to describe, writing to instruct, as well as how to compare instruction and description. The scheme sets out success criteria differentiated for Low, Medium and High achievers.
Six detailled lessons for year 5 or 6 using the musical score; Peter and the wolf.
The scheme of work is set out in boxed sections to include, lesson objectives, starters, introductory activities, development activities, plenaries and a resource list.
Key words are emphasised for the teacher using capital letters. Over all scheme looks at the musical instruments of the orchestra, rhythm and mood. It is essential to use this scheme along side the music Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev.
I have recently updated this scheme to include all resources.
