Teacher Candidate _____Colter Lee____________________________ Grade Level __10-12__ Subject/Content:_Music__ Title__Ear Training - Intervals______ CONTEXTUAL FACTORS (e.g. ethnicity, gender, exceptionalities, ELL, GATE, etc.) which need differentiation in instruction and assessment.

WALK-AWAY (what do I want students to know, understand, and be able to do?) Content Walk-Away: Listen and identify different intervals (major 2nd, major 3rd, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, and perfect 8th (octave)).

Reading/Language Walk-Away: Students will start to be able to sight-read music and get an idea of how it should sound before even playing the piece. Mastery of ear training takes many lessons so they arent expected to demonstrate success with all intervals.

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE (formative/summative checks for learning) (Match the Content Walk-Away)

Modifications/Accommodations

(ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Have a short listening quiz numbered from 1 to 10. Each question will be a different interval. Play each interval three times and have students write down what interval they think it is and then move on to the next interval.

ACTIVE LEARNING PLAN

Modifications/ Accommodations (ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Activate Prior Knowledge/Experiences Have students recall what a major scale is supposed to sound like and have them compare intervals to that. Focus Lesson (I do it) Play/sing a few intervals for the students and give some examples of pieces of music I use to relate those intervals. I.e. Theme of Top Gun is a Perfect 5 th. Guided Instruction (We do it) Give the class some examples of famous pieces/songs that start with each interval. Then, play an interval and ask which piece/song that it sounds like. Practice each interval a few times. Collaborative/Cooperative (You do it together) Have the students spend a few minutes together in groups to determine the opening interval in some popular songs. Get everyone back together and see what everyone came up with. If the intervals they said are correct, tell them that they can put it down for a reference for that interval. Independent (You do it alone) Have them pull out the sheet with numbers 1-10 on it. Play ten different intervals without any hints and have them write down what they think each one is. Summarization/Closure Students will be able to identify intervals of a major second, major third, perfect fourth, perfect fifth, and a perfect octave.

NOTES TO TEACHER What do I need to remember to do? Have examples for each interval Materials to have ready? Piano Approximate time needed for lesson? 30-45 minutes
