Looking for someone to comment on answering in the form of a question Say “today we’ve going to try to come up with some answers as to what we might do with this song, but we’re going to find answers by asking questions. I’m going to ask you an opening question: “How can we add to this piece of music” Now, you ask me back some questions about the possibilities we could have for adding to this music. Help them out if they get stuck by suggesting “can we change how loud we sing this piece?” “does everyone have to sing at once?” “can it be done as a round?” “can we add movements Write their questions on the board Ask the students to raise their hands and pick question on the board and then brainstorm answers. In order to move forward to a musical context, take the first suggestion you get from a student, then have students sing and apply it to the song right away, then ask the class as a whole if they like the result. Encourage students to apply, for example, dynamics or movement to the entire song, but avoid giving suggestions as much as possible at this point . National Standards Addressed: 1.
