Creating a music lesson unit using one song is one way for you to organize your lesson plans.

It’s fun to teach a lot of different songs, but this method will help you streamline your lesson activities.

And it will give you time to go in depth with your students in learning music concepts.  

You’ll be establishing your curriculum based on learning music skills instead of doing random activities.

 It’s something to consider if you are a new music teacher.

Just think, you’ll have 8 weeks of activities planned for each grade level using only one song. 

You’ll take one song and develop a complete music lesson unit. These lesson outlines will be the meat of your lessons.  

WHY THIS METHOD IS SO HELPFUL

The reason this method of planning is so helpful is that you now only have 5-6 songs to teach over an entire quarter. 

And all the activities for each grade are going to be very similar in that they’ll use the same music props, instruments and classroom organization.  This will help you with your time management too!

Amazingly, all the lessons can be structured to follow this plan from grades K-6.

You’ll adapt the activities for each grade level.

Over the course of the unit, you’ll want to cover goals for MELODY, RHYTHM, DYNAMICS, MOVEMENT, PLAYING INSTRUMENTS, SINGING, COMPOSING, and IMPROVISATION. 

At the end of the unit everyone will have learned these basic music concepts.
