6th Grade PLC

Hi Everyone,

Again, what a wonderful concert! I really enjoyed reading the results of your post-concert survey. I think you displayed a lot of self-awareness with they way you rated your performance and discussed the things we had to work on for next time. Just a great job!

Today we are working on two of our pieces: Roar, and In the Hall of the Mountain King. I am very excited about the next performance at the end of the year.

Lesson Plan:
1) Warm ups: Red Books.
2) Reminder about Blue Books (most of us are coming up on Book 2!)
3) Tuning
4) Roar. Review of last class' learning. Listen to the recording.
5) Run "Roar." Assess performance, then rehearse. Rehearsal techniques include student conductors, teacher modeling, and sectionals.
6) Direct Instruction on Roar (about 10 minutes)
7) Run "Roar." Assess performance. Did we grow? If yes, why? If not, why not?
8) Listen to "In the Hall of the Mountain King."
9) Direct instruction on "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (no more than 10 minutes)
10) Other rehearsal techniques - student conductors, and sectionals
11) Closure.
