Description

This is a complete curriculum resource for Fifth Grade general music for the month of September. It is designed to be adapted to a variety of teaching needs, so the material is organized by concept with a sample lesson sequence to show how to put them together. It is designed so you can create your own specific lesson plans based on the standards you need to address, the amount of class time you have, and the students and resources you have in your classes. Everything you need to teach the lessons are included.

**JUST UPDATED February 2025 with streamlined formatting, updated visuals, and fresh lesson ideas!!**

This set is a FREE download- if you find it useful, you may be interested in the Elementary General Music Curriculum BUNDLE (K-6), which includes all of the resources for every grade K-6 for the entire school year at a discount!

The materials in this set are the ones I use in my own classroom. My teaching is based on training in a variety of methodologies including Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Suzuki, and I am careful to incorporate a wide range of learning styles and interests in my lessons. This set can be used as a stand-alone curriculum- there is enough material to cover the 8 half-hour lessons per month that I see each class- or you can pick and choose your favorites to incorporate into other curricula you may already be using.

While the resource is designed to meet the U.S. National Core Arts Standards, there are no formal lesson plans referencing specific standards- you can easily copy and paste into whatever format you need for your school. Please take a close look at the preview to get a clear idea of how the lesson ideas are presented. Watch this video to see everything that's included in the set.

Included in this set:

A description of the lesson activities organized by skill/concept taught (Word and PDF formats)

Detailed lesson plans for a 30 minutes twice a week schedule (Word and PDF)

Assessments and accompanying rubrics

Slides, visuals, worksheets, and printables to use with the lessons (Powerpoint and PDF)

Fillable lesson plan template based on the National Core Arts Standards for the United States (fillable PDF form)

Year-long grade sets available:

Kindergarten

1st grade

2nd grade

3rd grade

4th grade

5th grade

6th grade

Please note that, due to the variety of resources offered in this file, the download comes in a zipped file.
