3 Preface Teaching is both an art and a science The art of teaching provides creative, exciting, and enriching activities that engage the learners The science is the understanding that we (teachers) need to present material in a developmentally appropriate and sequential manner We want our students to be actively involved in the musicmaking process and at the same time be able to articulate exactly what they are learning in music The goal of this series is to provide elementary music specialists with the tools and resources they need to develop a curriculum that teaches skills and concepts while maintaining an aesthetic and creative classroom environment! The music room is a place where children participate, discover, investigate, learn, and perform The result is an experience that not only builds musical knowledge but helps students develop a positive attitude toward music and the music-making process At the elementary levels, students develop skills in music through singing, chanting, moving, and playing instruments In our classrooms, we often integrate all of the music-making activities into one learning experience For example, children may learn a traditional folk song, identify the form and style, add movements and instrumental accompaniment, and develop ideas for contrasting sections This multifaceted approach fosters active music participation and allows individual students an opportunity to express themselves through multiple forms of music making Through this process the children learn to become not only independent musicians but interdependent members of a community of learners Every elementary student in our district attends music once a week As in any other discipline, music has its own tools, materials, concepts, and skills, which are developed with increasing understanding over time For each concept or skill, the student must pass through a learning sequence to assimilate and build understanding What to Teach When: A Thoughtful and Engaging Music Curriculum, Grades 5 provides elementary music specialists with repertoires and learning activities for teaching the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, form, texture, and timbre The curriculum is spiraled and the order of the activities has been carefully designed so that skills and concepts are continually reinforced before new concepts are introduced Each song or activity lists the elemental focus and concept along with the basic way in which we teach the piece to our students When applicable, you will see thumbnail images of the visual aids and/or manipulatives we have created for teaching the piece All of these can be found on the CD-ROM included with this book Our goal is to provide you with a core curriculum and encourage you to use the ideas in this publication as a springboard to creating exciting and enriching experiences with your students At the end of each grade-level offering, you will find a fully processed sample lesson plan that demonstrates how particular music skills and concepts might be taught in more detail We wish you all the best!

4 Timbre: Identify and play a variety of non-pitched percussion instruments My Name Is Hiller/Dupont My name is Da - vid I live on Mar - ket Street I have a sis - ter, and I like azz My name is Jes - si - ca I live on Mc - Dou - gal Place I have a ter - ri - er, and I like to sing! 1 Present the My Name Is Lyrics Visual Read the words for the class using non-metered speech, and complete the phrases Next, speak your version in rhythm as indicated in the My Name Is score Starting with the first measure, My name is, have the students speak all together in rhythm, filling in their names Do the same with the second measure, I live on, adding the names of the streets they live on You may need to help students with longer street names speak this line correctly in rhythm Once secure, have the students speak the first and second My Name Is Lyrics Visual My name is I live on I have a, and I like 2015 Heritage Music Press, a division of The Lorenz Corporation The original purchaser of What to Teach When: A Thoughtful and Engaging Music Curriculum Grade 5 (75/1000H) by Brian Hiller and Don Dupont has permission to reproduce this page for use in his or her classroom setting measures all together Next, have the students speak measures 3 and but whisper the fill-ins so that when they perform for the class, each answer will be a surprise!
