Presented by: Donna Brown
Instructor: A. Cruz
San Jacinto College Alternative Teacher Certification Program
Competency Objective
The teacher understands the concepts, processes, and skills
involved in the creation, appreciation, and evaluation of music,
and uses that knowledge to plan and implement effective and
engaging music instruction.
Orff Schulwerk Method
• “Learn By Doing” approach
• All children participate in all aspects of music in a non competitive
environment.
• Singing, moving, chanting, creating, improvising, and playing
instruments are part of this method.
• Believed that speech rhythm translate into body rhythm. (Snap, clap,
leg patting and stamping)
• Instruments include un pitched and melodic instruments examples
include: wood block, triangle, drums, xylophones, and glockenspiels.
• Three levels of teacher training
Kodaly Method
• “Step by step” approach.
• Rooted in Hungarian culture.
• The 3Ps (preparation, presentation, and practice) are the foundation
of this method.
• Solfege, hand signals, and rhythm syllables are the tools used.
• Additional tools are: musical flash cards, stick notation (the music
notation without the note head), and music ladders (indicate melodic
direction of the music).
Kodaly Method Cont’d
• Kodaly believed music was “meant to develop one’s entire beingpersonality, intellect, and emotions.
• Singing folk songs is the primary vehicle to teach music literacy for
this method.
• Professional development for music teachers is similar to those
offered by the Schulwerk method.
Elements of Music

•
Key Elements of all music include:
Rhythm
Melody
Harmony
Form
Expression
Rhythm
• The varied lengths of sounds and silences in relation to the
underlying beat. Children (K-3) have a tendency to confuse beat
rhythm as the same thing. Beat is the pulse that is felt is the music.
Rhythm is typical the melodic (word) rhythm in the song. Melodic
rhythmic is identified with notes and rests.
Notes and Rests
Melody
• The tune or the sing able part of the song
is the melody.
• A musical staff is needed to read the
music.
• Pitches are represented by symbols called
notes on the staff. The clef signs
determine the pitch level. Either higher or
lower.
Musical Staff & Symbols
Harmony
• The accompaniment or supportive sounds to a melody. These could
include piano, guitar, autoharp etc. Singing rounds can also create
harmony in a song.
Form
• The structure or design of the music. Music phrases make up a song
= sentences making a paragraph. Common forms in elementary
music are binary (AB), ternary (ABA), theme and variation (A A1 A2
A3 A4) and rondo (ABACA).
Expression
• Consists of Dynamics and Timbre
• Dynamics tells us if the music should be
loud or soft in a composition.
• Timbre is the color tone of the music. The
quality of sound in voice or instrument.
Musical Dynamics
Singing and Repertoire
Best vocal ranges for students (K-2) D-A. 3-6 is from D-D. Children in
K-6 have a breathy tone quality and should not be asked sing louder or
project their voice to avoid damaging their voice.
Curriculum Requirements
The 4 Basic Strands for Music Development
(TEKS) are:
• Perception
• Creative Expression and Performance
• Historical and Cultural Heritage
• Critical Evaluation
There are definite ties between curriculum and
repetoire.
Key Repertoire Areas
• Patriotism and Nationalism
Star Spangled Banner
America The Beautiful
God Bless America
My Country ‘Tis of Thee

Mariachi is popular form of music in Texas schools.
Listening
• Elementary age children are taught how to listen to music and what
to listen for musical understanding.
• These skills include historical background of the music followed by
information of the music itself.
• If these skills are not learned music has a tendency to become
background noise that children talk over.
Evaluation
• Performance evaluation rubrics were created to add
objectivity to evaluation process.
• Well written rubric should evaluate student performance
and provide student feedback.
• The Rubristar website allows teacher to create their own
rubrics.
This allows the measure the standards and benchmarks
for musical performance and composition.
