IV. Procedure

A. Reviewing previous lesson or Presenting the new lesson

Good morning, class!

Good morning, ma’am!
Do you know the song titled, “If You’re Happy and
You Know It”?
Yes, ma’am!
Good! Can somebody go in front and lead us the
song?
Yes, ma’am!
 If You’re Happy and You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will
surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.

* (stomp your feet, shout hooray, do all three)

Very good, children!

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

What do you do when you hear music?
I clap my hands, ma’am!
Yes. What else?
Stomp my feet, ma’am!
Another?
Snap my finger, ma’am!
What do you feel when you hear music?
I feel happy, ma’am!

C. Presenting examples/Instances of the new lesson

You often move your bodies or parts of your
bodies when you hear music. You clap your hands,
stomp your feet, snap your fingers or even tap the
table to follow the music. When you do these
things, you are responding to an element of music
called rhythm.

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 1

So, what is rhythm?
It is the flow of movement in music.
Yes. Rhythm is the flow of movement in music. It is
also the way words move along in a song. It is also
the way sounds and silences are grouped into
organized units.

Can you feel rhythm in your body?

Yes, ma’am!
How?
I can feel it in my hands, feet and finger. I can feel
it when I nod my head.
Yes. You really can feel rhythm. When you hear
the rhythm of the music, you usually respond to it
using different body movements.

How do you respond music?

Walking, jumping, skipping, swaying, stomping,
tapping, snapping and clapping.
Can we feel rhythm?
Yes, ma’am!
Can we touch rhythm?
No, ma’am!
We can only feel rhythm. Yet we can see it through
reading rhythmic patterns.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 2

You canperform rhythm better if you can read it
well. Here are some basic rhythmic symbols you
can begin with. Each symbol has an equivalent
rhythmic syllable and count or beat.

“da” = 1 beat
“da”

“di – di” = 1 beat

“di – di”

“da-a” = 2 beats
“da-a”

“diri-dri” = 1 beat
“diri- diri”

Rhythmic symbols can be grouped together to

create rhythmic patterns. Each rhythmic pattern
has an equivalent et of rhythmic syllables.

F. Developing mastery (leads to Formative Assessment

Study the rhythmic patterns. Recite the rhythmic

syllables of the rhythmic patterns.

dadada di - di
 “da da da di - di”

di - di da di – di da
“di - di da di – di da”

da di – di di – di da
“da di – di di – di da”

da– a di – di da

“da di – di di – di da”

dadada di - ri di - ri

“da dada di - ri di - ri”

Very good, children!

G. Finding practical application of concepts and skills in daily living

Use different body movements to express the

following rhythmic patterns. (echo clapping)
H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

What is rhythm?
Rhythm is the flow of movement in music, ma’am!

Can we feel rhythm?

We can feel rhythm in our body.
How can we respond rhythm?
We can respond rhythm through body movements
like hopping, swaying, snapping and clapping.
Very good!

I. Evaluating learning

A. Write the rhythmic syllables below each

rhythmic symbol.

B. Create your rhythmic patterns. Draw one pattern

for each box and write corresponding rhythmic
syllable. Be ready to perform each pattern in front
of the class.

rhythmic syllables.
