T. sings again-checking answer. 2) T. sings melody of phrase 1. S. count heart beats to first phrase (8). T. draws 8 beat marks on the board. 3) T. sings melody/words of phrase 2. S. count heart beats to second phrase (8). T. draws 8 beat marks on the board 4) T. sings phrase 1 again. S. find beats that have 1 sound. draw 1 line on corresponding beat marks. Repeat for phrase 2. 5) T. sings phrase 1. S. id beats that have 2 sounds. Draw 2 lines on beat marks having 2 sounds. Repeat process for phrase 2. 6) Transfer the 2 sounds into 8 th note notation and students speak the rhythms to the song using rhythm syllables. 7) Students sing phrases 1 and 2. Show picture of Haydn give brief background. Lesson 2 (10-15 minutes) Standards Addressed: Standard 1: Creating, Performing and Participating in the Arts Standard 3: Responding to and analyzing works of music Performance Indicators: Students will: Write rhythmic notation to phrases 3 and 4 of the Andante Movement of the Surprise Symphony. Learn about sections of a symphony called movements.

2 Listening Repertoire/Materials: Surprise Symphony, Mvt. 2, Andante Haydn Picture Rhythm patterns to phrase 1 and 2 determine the form of the piece Procedures 1) Play first 2 phrases of Surprise Symphony ask who wrote the melody? Joseph Haydn 2) Match rhythm patterns to phrases 1 & 2. Students rev. song singing on rhythm syllables. 3) T. says There is a 2 nd part to this song. Count the phrases to this part. T. sings phrases 3 & 4. S. response-2 4) Count the beats to each phrase. (8 in both) 5) Repeat process as above finding 1 sound to the beat, 2 sounds on the beat. This time there are beats that have more than 2 sounds. Count how many sounds (4) - draw 4 lines on the beat transfer to 16 th notes. 6) Perform phrases 3 and 4 with rhythm syllables. 7) Sing phrases 3 and 4 (this may be high) - you may want to just stay with rhythm syllables or text rhythms. 8) Perform whole song.- In actual piece phrases 1 & 2 and phrase 3 & 4 are repeated 9) Explain Symphony is a piece written for orchestra. Each symphony may have several parts (3-5). Each part is called a movement. ( I compare it to chapters of a book) This is the 2 nd movement and it is called Andante. Lesson 3 (15-20 minutes) Standard Addressed: Standard 3: Responding to and Analyzing Works of Art. Performance Indicators: Students will: Arrange the rhythmic phrases of the theme to the Andante Movement of the Surprise Symphony in the correct order. help determine the form of the piece. Materials: Surprise Symphony, Mvt. 2, Andante Pencils Rhythm patterns to Surprise Symphony. (Handout #1) Procedures 1) Play recording of Surprise Symphony- Students id- find surprise in music. Explain Haydn wanted to wake the audience up and put this little musical joke into the work.

3 2) Students can work individually or in small groups putting the rhythms of the phrases in the correct order. (Similar process as in Lesson 2-except using small groups.) Lesson 4 (20-25 minutes) Standards Addressed: Standard 3: Responding to and Analyzing Works of Art. Performance Indicators: Students will: Identify ways in which the composer varies the theme in the 2 nd Movement of the Surprise Symphony determine the form of a piece. Materials: Surprise Symphony, Mvt. 2, Andante Pencils Handout #2 Procedures 1) Have students think of ways to say the word hello - (high, low, loud, soft, fast, Slow, spooky, sad, etc.) 2) Have students demonstrate various ways to walk in a circle (tip toe, crawl, march, slow, fast) 3) Both of these activities we did variations we took an idea (word or movement) and performed it in various ways. We can do a similar thing with music. 4) Use a well known song- (Twinkle, Mary, Hot Cross Buns)- show how by changing the tempo, dynamics, tonality, ornamentation you can create variations 5) Another way to create variations is to have different instruments play the melody. Joseph Haydn used this technique with the Andante from the Surprise Symphony. Give students the handout to Andante from Surprise Symphony. In small groupsstudents decide which instrument family/dynamic level is heard in each theme. Teacher signals start of each variation. Extension Students take the rhythm to phrases 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 and compose their own variations
