    Lesson Plan

    Justus Butler - Song for Christine

    I. Goals/Objectives
    A. The students will accurately play the entirety of “​Song for Christine​” out of the
    Essential Elements​ Book 1 using correct arco technique.

    II. Procedure/Sequence of Activities


    A. First, students will put together instruments and leave cases and backpacks in
    designated areas (in hallway outside of classroom)
    B. Students will find seats and set out their ​Essential Elements​ book and flip to page
    76, number 33. (​Song for Christine)​
    C. I will sit down at the front of the class and play ​Song for Christine​ using arco.
    D. I will ask Kevin to tell me what the fingering for F# is on the violin and then ask
    him to play it.
    E. I will ask Lauren to tell me what the fingering for C# is on the bass and play it
    F. Placing down my bow I will then ask the students to play ​Song for Christine
    along with me using piccicato. 2x through
    1. If there are sections in which students are having a particularly difficult
    time with we will stop and play through sections slowly and then integrate
    them back into the full piece
    G. I will ask Willie to tell me what we should be watching for when we play with our
    bows; how do you bow?
    H. Next I will ask the students to pick up their bows and play ​Song for Christine
    using arco. I will not play this time and listen, giving feedback as we go. 2x
    through
    1. Feedback to look out for; proper bow holds, they are bowing in the proper
    area of the instrument, pressing down hard enough on the strings to make
    a sufficient noise, holding the instrument correctly etc.

    III. Assessment (Informal)


    A. As I listen to the students in the last run-through of ​Song for Christine​ I will be
    assessing their ability to accurately play the entirety of the piece as stated in my
    objective. However, the entire time that I will be teaching I will be making sure
    that the students are comprehending what I am trying to explain, and they are
    fully understanding the concepts being taught to them. This will be done through
    watching them and addressing any problems that I notice.
    IV. National Standards/Virginia Standards of Learning Addressed (MIB. 11)
    A. MIB. 11
    1. The student will demonstrate proper instrumental techniques, including
    a) finger/slide placement, using finger/slide patterns and
    fingerings/positions;
    b) matching pitches and beginning to make adjustments to facilitate correct
    intonation;
    c) production of tones that are clear, free of tension, and sustained;
    d) wind student—proper breathing techniques and embouchure; contrasting
    articulations
    (tonguing, slurring, staccato, accent);
