II. Learning Content:

Music: Steady Beats (Ostinato)

Reference:.....

 Materials: Found objects or things inside the classroom

III. Procedure:

      A.   Introduction

      1.    Motivation: The teacher will ask the pupils to listen quietly to the following sounds:

·         The beat of their heart / pulse

·         The steady sound of electrical appliances inside the room (electric fan, clock)

·         The rustling of the wind or the buzzing of the streets outside the classroom.

The teacher will ask the pupils if what they heard were regular or steady beats.

      2.    Statement of the Aim:

In our lesson today, you are expected to exhibit understanding of steady beats or ostinato, perform steady beats by means of chanting, walking, tapping, and clapping, listen to steady beats in musical instruments, and apply new learning in becoming a better listener or follower.

      B.   Interaction

      1.    Presentation:

·      The teacher will ask the pupils to listen to a certain musical piece that he/she will play. Pupils will be asked to draw on a sheet of paper what they have visualized from the music that they have heard. Some pupils will be called to explain what they have drawn and why this reminds them of the music being played.

·        The teacher will introduce various ways that will show a regular or steady beat (claps, stomps, etc.)

      2.    Comparison and Abstraction:

·      Pupils will be asked again if they heard a regular or steady sound or beat in the     music played. Pupils will be asked to listen to the music again.

      3.    Generalization:

What is Ostinato?

      C.   Integration:

      1.    Application:

Pupils will be grouped together. They will be asked to produce steady beats and sounds using their hands and feet. Each group will be given 5 minutes to practice and 2 minutes to present.

      2.    Valuing:

·         After all the groups have performed, they will be asked about what they have learned in relation to beat.

·         The pupils will be asked the following questions:

a.    Did you have fun doing the group activity? Were you able to create steady sounds or beats?

b.    What did you learn apart from having a better understanding of ostinato?

c.    What is needed from among your members in order to create steady sounds or beats?

·         The teacher will try to elicit the importance of cooperation, being a good listener, and follower.

      3.    Evaluation: By group Beat presentation (assessed by rubrics)

      4.    Assignment:

Practice doing steady beats at home
