BRIEF SUMMARY OF UNIT: Students will develop an understanding of rhythm and meter through a variety of activities and demonstrate a mastery of these elements through reading, performing, composing and analyzing listening examples. SUGGESTED TIMELINE: Distributed evenly throughout the entire school year. *The suggested timeline is subject to change as teachers and program supervisors find necessary. LINK TO CONTENT STANDARDS: Standard: 1.1 (Aesthetics) All students will use aesthetic knowledge in the creation of and in response to dance, music, theater, and visual art. Standard: 1.2 (Creation and Performance) All students will utilize those skills, media, methods, and technologies appropriate to each art form in the creation, performance, and presentation of dance, music, theater, and visual art. Standard: 1.3 (Elements and Principles) All students will demonstrate and understanding of the elements and principles of dance, music, theater, and visual art. Standard: 1.4 (Critique) All students will develop, apply, and reflect upon knowledge of the process of critique. Standard: 1.5 (History/Culture) All students will understand and analyze the role, development, and continuing influence of the arts in relation to world culture, history, and society.

C: STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO: ● Clap, chant and play from progressively more complex notation while maintaining a steady beat. ● Improvise more complex rhythm accompaniments independently and in small groups using classroom instruments. 2 COURSE TITLE: Music ● Explore different ways that rhythms can be written. ● Categorize rhythmic patterns as syncopated or not by sight and sound. ● Separate rhythm patterns into measures based on the meter signature. ● Assign a meter signature to a group of measures. ● Compose and perform rhythmic pieces in a variety of meters. ● Listen to a piece of music and determine the meter. SUGGESTED SEQUENCE OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER RESOURCES: Planned activities: This unit the students will: ● Use rhythm instruments and movement to demonstrate the relative duration of whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. ● Break a series of beats into sets of 2, 3, 4, 6 and assign meter signatures. ● Sing songs in a variety of meters. ● Listen to a piece of music and determine the meter. ● Show the meter in movement. ● Students bring in examples of their own music in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8. ● Compose short rhythmic pieces in a variety of meters and perform them. ● Listen to songs that are syncopated, follow the written music and describe what you hear in the music and see on the paper. ● Discuss the rhythmic patterns that make the song sound jazzy. ● Define syncopation. ● Clap syncopated rhythm patterns and analyze why they sound “Jazzy” ● Create a rap/lyrics with given rhythm patterns and/or a pre recorded rhythmic accompaniment. ● Demonstrate understanding of rhythm and meter by participating in smartboard/technology activities. 3 COURSE TITLE: Music GRADE(S): 5 UNIT NUMBER AND TITLE: Unit 2 – Reading and Interpreting Music for the Understanding of Pitch and Melody. BRIEF SUMMARY OF UNIT: Students will develop an understanding of pitch and melody through a variety of activities and demonstrate a mastery of these elements through reading, performing, composing and analyzing listening examples.
