Musicplay Grade 4 Teacher's Guide

Musicplay is an award-winning music curriculum for elementary schools. Musicplay is a sequential music curriculum for elementary schools with lessons that follow the calendar year. Each weekly lesson outlines the new concepts that will be introduced, those that will be reviewed, and include seasonal and holiday repertoire. The planning is done for the teacher!

Lesson Planning

Year Plan is included for this grade.

Monthly Lesson Outlines give you each month at a glance.

40 weekly detailed lessons offer you a menu of musical activities. There is more than enough material in the lesson plan for two thirty-minute music classes.

The lesson plans are like a menu. There are many song choices and for each song, there are activities to choose from. You choose the songs and the activities that teach the curriculum concepts required by your state or province. (Musicplay is aligned to all state and provincial curriculums!) You choose the songs and activities that hold the most appeal for you and your students.

Feel free to substitute freely - Musicplay provides the framework - you get to make the choices.

Recordings

Recordings are included in the teacher's guides!  (Download Audio MP3's)

Musicplay 4 has more than 100 musical selections! Child and adult voices are used, and there are many recordings licensed from popular children’s entertainers. Accompaniments include Orff arrangements, piano accompaniments, and orchestrated accompaniments. Performance songs have both performance and accompaniment tracks - you can use the accompaniments for your performances. Multicultural songs feature authentic performances - the songs are in original languages and are sung by native singers. Many of those multicultural songs are game songs that appeal to children even though the language and sound may be unfamiliar. Many rounds are included so your students can begin singing in parts. There are also wonderful choral selections and folk song arrangements, in unison as well as two parts.

Assessments
