on the material we covered in

the last lesson. It also
refreshes their idea and
concept of how to play the
piece.

identify the right descriptors

from the word bank.

1.30

Review: Play
through the first
two stanzas.

Students will review

what they previously
rehearsed by playing
through measures 136.

This allows the students to

review that they had
previously learned. It also
refreshes their memory on
the elements they decided to
be appropriate for the
performance of the piece.

I will assess by listening for

pitch and rhythmic accuracy,
core ensemble sound, and
listen for the application of
the elements decided
previously.

Look at and
discuss the key
change at
measure 37.

Students will identify

what the new key is.
They will also discuss
how it relates to the
first key signature (a
fifth above).

It gives the students some

theory knowledge of the
piece as well as how the two
different key signatures
relate to each other.

I will listen to see if students

provide knowledge and
understanding of the relation
between the two key
signatures.

Play the G major

scale (new key
signature).

Students will play the

G major scale to
establish the new key
signature.

This will allow the students to

establish the new key
signature and give them the
opportunity to play the whole
set of notes in the G scale.
This will help transition to the
new key.

I will listen for pitch and

tuning accuracy. I will also
assess the core sound of the
ensemble.

1.30

Play measures 37
through 52 (third
stanza).

Students will play

through the third
stanza in the new key
signature. Vocalists
may sing in solfege
instead of the lyrics.

This will allow students to

play through the music in the
different key signature.

I will listen for rhythmic and

pitch accuracy as well as the
core sound of the ensemble.

2.30

Discuss how the

key change alters
the mood/feel of
the piece.

Students will discuss

how the key change
may change the
feeling or sound of the
piece. How does the
new key change the
feel of the piece? The
discuss will go further
and see if there are
certain elements we
would like to alter to
portray the key change
better. How can we
portray these feelings
through other
elements other than
the key change?

Students will be able to think

about how a modulation may
change the feeling and
overall style of the piece. The
students will be able to
express their opinion on how
they feel the piece should be
played at the modulation.

I will assess by listening to

students responses and their
interpretations of how the
modulated material should be
played.

1.30

Play through
measures 37-52
implementing
these new style
changes.

Students will play

through the first
stanza of the key
change integrating the
new concepts and
style changes they
came up with.

This allows the students to

play through the material
again but implemented their
creativity and ideas into the
performance of the music.

I will assess by listening for

those specific elements
created by the students and if
they come through the
performance of the piece.

1.30

Play measures 53
to the end.

Students will play

measures 53 to the
end, also
implementing their
style elements into the
performance.

The students will be able to

play the remainder of the
piece while also learning how
to integrate their previous
ideas into a new stanza of
music.

I will listen for pitch and

rhythmic accuracy as well as
how the ensemble
implements the style
elements.

3.30

Play through the

entire piece.

Students will perform

Love Will Find Out The
Way with pitch and
rhythmic accuracy as
well as appropriate

The students will put

together everything that they
have learned to perform the
piece as a whole.

I will assess by listening for

rhythmic and pitch accuracy,
core sound of the ensemble,
and appropriate style
performance.
