Assignment # 3
1.What are long- and short- term goals? Please give an example for each.
Long-term goals are designed to the assist the the teacher in clearly specifying what is ultimately to be achieved in a learning environment.
An example of this would be to teach students to develop an appreciation of jazz.
Short-term goals are related to long-term goals but are generally attained within a specified time frame. Short-term goals often indicate what needs to be accomplished in a particular week or lesson.
An example of this would be to teach students the first basic musical notes to playing a recorder within a week's lesson plan.
2.What is music concept about? Please list six musical concepts mentioned in the textbook.
A music concept is "a collection of experiences or ideas that are grouped together based on some common properties. The six music concepts are as follows:
1.Rhythm
2.Melody
3.Texture
4.Dynamics
5.Tone color or timbre
6.Form
3.What is musical skill? (The things you do when you are engaged in musical activities). Please give three examples.
Three things that I do when engaged in music is concentration, I have to concentrate on hearing the number of beats in a rhythm to know what notes are being played. Memorization is another skill I use when we are learning a new song or beat and I have to repeat it. Another skill would be how to interact in a team efficiently by working with others by acting out the instruction in songs that require a group effort.
4.What is the possible sequence of writing a lesson plan (p.27).

5.List the 9 national standards in music education (p. 26)
1. Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
2. Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire or music
3. Improving melodies, variations and accompaniments
4. Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines
5. Reading and notating music
6. Listening to, analyzing and describing music
7. Evaluating music and musical performances
8. Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts
9. Understanding music in relation to history and culture
6.Music is important in a child’s education because . . . (why do we need music? What is the purpose of music?)
Music is important in a child's education because it can be used in many forms in the classroom that are not intimidating and can be enjoyable. Children can learn organization, how to follow directions,learn social skills within a Music lesson plan. Music is a good way to teach children culture by introducing them to music from other countries and customs. Music can also be used as a motivator or a closing component in a lesson. Music can be therapeutic to the soul and mind. What life be without music?
