Learner choices

Target/codes: compare HIGH HIGH LOW LOW with yesterday's zigzag and identify SAME, DOWN, SAME; AC9AMUFD01, AC9AMUFC01. Prepare: C fall picture, Practice C, two large pitch rails.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Put the two scores side by side, each with four places and one dot at each.
  2. Model · 4 min. Trace HIGH HIGH LOW LOW: equal first pair, lower pitch at place 3, equal last pair. Do not claim “falling” makes a real listener sad.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child pairs each of three joins with SAME, DOWN or SAME and says/shows one contrast with LOW HIGH LOW HIGH.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child picks either contour for a fictional paper character's scene or no scene and explains an intended musical difference. No real person's or family's feeling is inferred.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save which version and reason the child chose, not a guessed listener reaction.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the high/low rails; tomorrow a contour can rise then fall.
