Lesson+Planning


 * Lesson Planning **

// To guide effectiveness in planning for teaching, you may use the following questions: //
 * What objectives am I seeking?
 * What music activities are appropriate for the achievement of the objectives?
 * What are the behaviours you might expect from your pupils?
 * How will the learner react to the musical environment planned (learner’s level)?
 * How shall I organize my teaching strategies? What takes place first?
 * How does the lesson fit with my overall curriculum requirements and general practices in school?
 * How will I assure continuity of learning?
 * How will I measure progress?
