following learning activities. Beat/No Beat, Steady Beat Silent Walking Game, Melody

Other Evidence:
3 = Competent – accurate almost all of the performance (expected level for majority of students).
Rhythm: Beat/No Beat, Children recall things in their environment that have a steady beat
(clocks, heartbeat, car direction blinker), and create a movement depicting it.
Rhythm: Steady Beat Silent Walking Game, Students walk the beat to music played by the
teacher. Feet must stop when music stops. Children can be “caught” by the teacher for
walking when music stops, talking, or touching another person. Students earn their way
back into the game by sitting quietly in their seats.
Melody: Up/Down, Children make sounds that match the squiggles; then make up their
own squiggles and perform for each other. Children draw squiggles as teacher plays short
melodic phrases.
Timbre: Speaking/Singing Game, “Do What I Sing/Do Not Do What I Speak”.
Children should only respond to commands given with a singing voice. Once procedure is
established, students become leaders and must demonstrate their singing or speaking
voices.
Discussion: Students will tell what they liked about a group performance.
They will give their opinions regarding how well the group stayed together and how
correctly they used their instruments or voices.
