“A keyboard for every student
"Music stands for every student (if there aren't any attached to the keyboards)
“Headphones for every student they go with they keyboards.
& Agenda:

-Beginning reading/Worksheet
6. Lesson Sequence (be sure to list time in the pacing section) _ Pacing
A. Brief Opening: ‘min
Intro to the: plano. How it works, how to play it, and what the pedals are
used for. Also acking students how much experience they've had with the
piano or any other kind of instrument.
B. Learning Activities:
1. Note names/Groupings
Students wil be shown simple groupings on the piano (based on the | 1. 18min
«/_ | sharps and fats) to learn where all ofthe notes are. Then from there
Students wil beaks-how to find C. After the students have found C they | 2. Smin
twill go two notes down and find A. Once they have done that they will be
shown haw the notes relate to the alphabet (A, B, C, D, ex). Then 3.10min
Students will be shown how the black notes relate to the white notes
|;yased on what direction they are heading to them in. Then the students
j (| will be “quizzed” on finding notes (in class a5 a group)2. Hand Position
Five fingers on each hand and each finger will get one note, Wrists
relaxed and straight, Fingers not too high up on the keys. Students will
then be instructed on the proper fingering numbers (thumbs are 1, and
pinkies are 5). Students will put their hands in the proper position and
‘then lift each finger one by one and play from C to G (white keys only).
Hands separate and then together.
3. Beginning Reading
First students will be given a brief overview of note rhythms (though:
they should already have some experience). Students will be shown the
notes on the staff from C to G in order. Students will play up and down
this 5-note scale while looking at the notes on the board (or in front of
them) in just the treble voice. Students will then be given a sheet of paper
that has beginning practice examples on them.
C. Assessment:
judents will be given an in class assignment (the sheet of paper in.
activity 3), and will be tested on their ability to play it at some point for the
teacher before the end of class. If they are unable to do this students will
be asked if they can practice this outside of the classroom and if so
students will show their progress to the teacher during the beginning of
the next class.
D. Closing/Wrap-up:
The students will be given a brief review of hand position and note 5min
names (even the ones not included in the worksheet). Again they will be
‘quizzed’ as a group just as a refresher. If there is time they will also be
given some easy rhythms ta play on a single note of the teachers choice.
E. Assignment:

teacher will be asked to take them home and practice if they have the

‘a. More time, aural prompts, visual prompts (larger print worksheet)
b. Visual objectives, teacher demonstration.
8. Teacher Reflection/Self-Evaluation: (a. Reflect on the process and include
student responses b. Rethink & Revise - what could you have done differently to
improve the outcome of this lesson)
a. Students may feel like they class is moving too fast.
. If students need more time then a review of rhythms and note names might be
necessary,
