The first three lessons of my unit plan thoroughly explained and assessed rhythm syllables: whole note (4 beats), half note (2 beats), quarter note (1 beat), eighth note (½ of a beat), and the rests that they are aligned with. The students were individually assessed with rhythmic sight reading exercises and composing/improvising short rhythmic phrases. For lesson four, the learning goal addressed was LG3, Students will be able to read and echo rhythms using whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, and eighth notes. The objective was for students to accurately clap and say (on rhythm syllables and words), their part in a new piece of music. This specific piece is a state-mandated competition song titled, Vive In Pace (1600s). It is composed/arranged by Orlando Gibbons and Audrey Snyder and written in Latin, for a 3-part mixed chorus. When I played a recording of it, the students all looked very uninterested. My students referred to it as, “slow, boring, and sounds weird.” I reassured them that once they learned all three parts and heard “how…

setting is when the educator stands at the front of the class room and does most of the speaking. Sometimes they utilize power points or handouts to help facilitate learning. Comprehending what is taught during lecture is important in academic success. There are many different ways to help improve retention rates, but one common practice used among 99% of college students is note taking (Palmatier & Bennett, 1974). Note taking is said to benefit students in two different ways. Taking notes helps…
is something quite beautiful. The notes themselves are able to hum a certain tune, but if played correctly, more than one note can create a blissful melody. However, some notes are best played with a select few. The notes can represent humans. Each note, or human, sings their own note in their own perfect way. They never change who they are. They are never one another. But, sad to say, the notes themselves aren't enough, and neither was I. In the summer of 2004, I was a shy five-year-old little…

However, he leaves out the notes C, D, and F; F is not to be introduced until the second movement; C and D become important members of the pentatonic set G-A-C-D-F played by the alto flute in measures 5-6. One may wonder how does this pentatonic set fit into Chou’s variable modes system, for no single hexachordal set contains these pitches…
