This lesson is designed for students grades 2 and 3. The lesson is interactive and has timed intervals due to the attention span of
the students at that age. This lesson is gives a familiarity to pop culture, as well as provides kinesthetic exercises where students
are cutting and gluing and getting creative with their student work. The hamburger acts as a visual translation to our visual
learners while ABA is for our linguistic learners.
Students identify the sounds of a variety of instruments, including many orchestra and band instruments, and
instruments from various cultures, as well as children’s voices, and male and female adult voices.
I can use the correct musical terms when I explain things about music.

How I wonder what you are
Raise your hand if you think there is only one section to this song.
Raise your hand if you think two.
Raise your hand if you think three.
(THREE)
We’re talking about A B A Form, so that means that our piece has three parts, with one repeating the A section.
What about Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky? Is it (A or B)
B because it comes next and it is different than the first part.
Okay is the last Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How I wonder what you are (A, B, or C)?
