Description
Need new ideas for your elementary music lessons? Want detailed ideas, questions, and strategies to try with your students? This comprehensive bundle includes lesson plans for Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade.
Save over 30% by buying this set as a bundle instead of buying the individual sets!
All lesson plans include objectives, materials, all National Core arts standards covered, skills covered, relationship to previous and future lessons, “I can” statements, comfortable starting pitch, time allotted for each activity, procedures, assessments, and transitions. A spot on each lesson will be included for an evaluation of the lesson, so you can list any notes about the lesson or about what each class covered. I’m also including essential questions and rubrics as appropriate.
This set is meant to assist you in lesson planning your elementary music lessons. Each student population, each school, and each teacher is different, so I made these lesson plans editable (as Word files) so you could adapt as needed. Simply type into the already existing lesson, or cut and paste into your own template. The Kindergarten lessons are written for 25 minutes, and the grades 1-5 lessons are written for 35 minutes. If you have less time, you could delete activities, and if you have more, you could add using some of the suggestions in the “suggestions for addition” files in each grade level set. Please feel free to add activities of your own! This should be a living, breathing set that changes from year to year, adapting to your students, your needs, and your school’s needs.
I have also included new songs and chants to the file as they occur throughout the lessons; they are alphabetically listed in the songs file. Please note that while many lesson materials are included in this set, some of the materials are listed as links to products in my store, the stores of others, or on other sites online (such as West Music.)

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
Question: Does this set require lots of prep?
Answer: I created this set so that it would require little prep. The lessons can be used as is, or can be edited. The accompanying materials can simply be printed or opened up. You will need to gather materials for each lesson, such as a hand drum, recorder, etc. There are a few picture books and recordings that you would need to purchase, or you could substitute with books or recordings you already own.
Question: Does this set require technology?
Answer: Many of the materials in this set can be used without technology. There are assessments and games that can be used with simply a LCD projector and/or interactive white board.
Question: Which programs do I need to open up the files?
Answer: This set comes in Google Drive. The file types you will need include:
- Adobe Reader
- PowerPoint

READ REVIEWS FROM OTHER MUSIC EDUCATORS!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This curriculum is amazing. Aileen has created such a comprehensive plan here. My students love the songs and games, the progression of skills and concepts flows very well, and it has helped my students become more competent musicians. The Kodaly process and this plan make me feel like a put-together teacher instead of trying to piece things together each week. I cannot recommend this resource enough.”
