c. Review

So, before we proceed to our

discussion let’s have first a
recapitulation.

Anyone who can tell about what you Yesterday we have discussed about the
learned yesterday? Yes, Lilian? meaning and characteristics of music. I have
learned that music is a form of art that uses
sound organized in time.

Very good! Let's give Lilian three claps. (The pupils clap their hands thrice)

Music is also a form of entertainment

that put sounds together in a way that
we like, find interesting or dance to. Do Yes, ma’am!
you agree?

For today’s topic, you’ll discover more

about music. You’ll going to sing, play, Yes, ma’am!
and be energized. Are you ready?

2. Motivation

Now, we’re going to play a singing

game! Everyone kindly look at the
directions projected in front. I will read it
and please follow.

Game Directions:
One student is the “hider” and one is
the “finder.” The “finder” is blind folded
while the “hider” hides the Easter
Basket in plain sight (not under or in
something). The “finder” is blinded and
is guided to the basket by the loudness
and softness of the singing. If children
sing quietly he is far away. If the
children sing loudly, he’s closer.

Okay, is the instruction clear? Yes, ma’am!

Fantastic! I want Ciara Lou to come in (The pupil comes in front and pick two papers)
front and pick two papers in the box for
the names of the two pupils who will act
as the “finder” and the “hider”.

Thank you, Ciara Lou. So, the lucky

pupil who will act as the “finder” is
Jessamen, and another lucky pupil who
will be the “hider” is Angelica.
The game starts and the pupils sing the song
“Row row row your boat”

cards with the terms: piano, forte,

favorite song or any song that you know. You
will be going to sing that song in front and
demonstrate that song among the terms of
dynamics. For example, if you will choose
“piano” you will sing your song in a calm or
soft manner. I will only give you 5 minutes to
prepare. But before that I will give you each a
copy of the criteria for your performance as
well as the evaluation work sheet which you
will fill out after your performance. Okay?

Any questions? If you have please approach No questions ma’am.
