Unit 1: Prehistoric Music Introduction and Established Goals: Students will learn about prehistoric and ancient instruments, and use them to review note values and rhythm reading concepts that were presented in the 6th grade General Music curriculum. Desired Outcome(s): To culminate this unit, students will create their own percussion instrument and use it to publicly perform a computerized final-draft of an original composition that utilizes all rhythmic values covered in the unit. This will demonstrate mastery of all objectives within the unit.
