1st 1-3 Peter and the Wolf intro Lesson: Arts and Humanities, Grade(s) 01 Students will review the learned song Billy Boy as well as the words "verse" and "refrain." Students will be introduced to the story "Peter and the Wolf" as well as the instruments involved in the music. Students will use a graphic organizer to remember the instruments in addition to which character each represents. Duration: 40 Minutes Lesson Lesson Plan Review the song "Billy Boy" from last week. Read two rhythms on the board using a numeric counting system. Introduce the following instruments: flute, violin, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, French horn, kettle drums. Explain that each instrument has a different sound and that each belongs to a different family. Show pictures of each and ask thought questions about what they see. Explain that a composer makes decisions about what instruments to use based on how loud or softly they play and how high or low their sound is. What instrument would make the best sound for a bird? A flute because it is small and has a soft, high pitched sound. Continue by introducing the music of Peter and the Wolf. While students listen to music, they may color, cut and glue the pieces together to match up the instrument that belongs with the character of the story. Store pictures in folder for discussion next week. Essential/Guiding Questions What does the term "tone color" mean? What do composers think about when they choose instruments for their music? What are the 4 families of instruments? Learning Targets I can categorize instruments of the orchestra into families. I can define "tone color." I can discuss why composers choose certain instruments for the music they write. I can identify what the words "verse and refrain" mean. Formative & Summative Assessment Students demonstrate, through performance, the difference between the rhythm and the beat. Teacher engages students in a class discussion regarding instruments and classification of each. At this point, I am checking for prior knowledge and how to pace future lessons related to instruments. Page 1 of 5
Student-Centered Learning Experiences Students remember and sing a previously learned song. Students demonstrate, through performance, the difference between the rhythm and the beat. Class discussion on why composers choose certain instruments (the flute for example) to represent certain characters, scenery, seasons, or emoitions in music. Strategies for Addressing Individual/Diverse Student Needs Students with visual impairments will sit close to the board. Students who have trouble staying on task will have the benefit of the teacher using the document camera to keep students engaged and together on the lesson.

Structures that artists use include elements and principles of each art form, tools, media and subject matter that impact artistic products and specific styles and genre that provide a context for creating works. It is the artist's choice of these in the creative process that results in a distinctively expressive work. Students make choices about how to use structural organizers to create meaningful works of their own. The more students understand, the greater their ability to produce, interpret or critique artworks from other artists, cultures and historical periods.
