    Final Lesson Plan and Reflection

    The arts lesson plan that I created, adapted, and implemented was the Music Lesson Plan.

    The lesson title was Exploring Music Concepts. During this lesson I allowed the students to

    choose whether they wanted to participate. After the group was created, we sat down in a circle

    on the carpet. We began by singing a hello song, the song I chose was “Hello, Neighbor” by Dr.

    Jean. After that, we played "pass the beat," but I changed it so that the students could select

    different instruments. I began, then handed the beat to the student seated across from me. Next,

    we played the game loud or soft. I gave the kids the opportunity to swap instruments before we

    started this exercise. Following our loud or soft, we discussed melody and its definition. We

    played with all the instruments in the circle and the students played whatever they were feeling

    after learning more about what melody is.

    I would say that my lesson went as planned. The only issue I faced is that not many

    students joined my group. After nap the Jets were full of energy and wanted to interact with more

    stimulating activities. However, the students that joined my group were very involved and we all

    had an abundance of fun. After I finished the lesson and the students were freely playing with the

    instruments, more students came over and got involved. Some students started singing, others

    were playing with instruments, and some where just sitting enjoying the music.

    If I had to teach this lesson again, I would choose which students I wanted to participate

    rather than have the students choose my group. This would allow for more students to get
    involved with music in class. I would also bring the students outside; it was a beautiful day

    outside and it would’ve been a very immersive experience if the students were outside playing

    with the different instruments. Lastly, I would’ve written out the word melody so that the

    students could see what the word looks like. When I was teaching about what melody is, I was

    only saying it and I believe it would’ve been more beneficial if I had written it down.

    I learned that students are interested in music. Music is not always prioritized in the

    classroom, which impacts different areas of education. All the Jets love listening to music,

    dancing in the classroom, and singing random tunes when their working. I think that by bringing

    out the instruments and letting them play with them, it allowed them to delve further into the

    topic of music. With seeing that, as I move forward in my education and eventually do become a

    teacher, I will remember the importance of incorporating music into the classroom.

    Some modifications that would’ve benefitted the lesson would be taking the children out

    of the classroom, writing down all that we were doing, and saying the intentions of the lesson

    before beginning. During centers the classroom can become very loud and hectic, I believe that

    by taking my group out of the classroom to implement this lesson the experience would’ve been

    better. I also think that writing down the different words that I was teaching and that we were

    singing (loud, soft, pass the beat, etc.) It would’ve let the students see the words that they were

    using during the experience. Lastly, I should’ve told the students everything that we were doing

    before I started the lesson. Laying out my intentions as well as expectations, would let the

    students know what to do and how I wanted them to behave. Overall, the lesson went very well,

    the students had a great time and took a lot from this experience. I gained a lot of knowledge

    from applying this experience in the Jets classroom as well. It expanded my knowledge of music

    in the classroom and helped me get a better understanding of the Jets children as well.
