Description
This is a complete curriculum resource for K-6 elementary general music for the entire month of November. 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. November's curriculum includes a keyboarding unit for 5th grade (with alternatives for teaching the same concepts without pianos), an introduction to the 4 orchestral instrument families in 2nd grade, canon singing in 3rd grade, and more.

**JUST UPDATED August 2025 with streamlined formatting, updated visuals, and fresh lesson ideas!!**
Want to save money and get materials to cover the whole year? This set is included in the Year-Long Bundle!
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. You can also download a free copy of the September resources for 5th grade here to see what is included and test it out in your classroom, and watch the preview video to see how the materials are organized.
The purchase of this set entitles the buyer to use the materials in their own classroom. If you would like to use this in collaboration with your department or share with other teachers, you can purchase additional licenses at a discount.
Please note that, due to the variety of resources offered in this file, the download comes in a zipped file.
Included in this set:
A description of the lesson activities organized organized within each grade 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)
Skills and concepts overview for the month
