Concepts
1. Harmony
the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect.
2. Rhythm
a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound.
3. Beat
In
music and music theory, the beat is the basic unit of time, the pulse,
of the mensurable level. The beat is often defined as the rhythm listeners
would tap their toes to when listening to a piece of music, or the
numbers a musician counts while performing, though in practice this may
be technically incorrect.
4. Tempo
In musical terminology, tempo also known as Beats per minute, is
the speed or pace of a given piece. In classical music, tempo is
typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece and is
usually measured in beats per minute.
5. Clave
The clave is a rhythmic pattern used as a tool for temporal
organization in Brazilian and Cuban music. In Spanish, clave literally
means key, clef, code, or keystone. It is present in a variety of genres
such as Abakuá music, rumba, conga, son, mambo, salsa, songo, timba and
Afro-Cuban jazz.
6. Percussion
Percussion
instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck or
scraped by a beater; struck, scraped or rubbed by hand; or struck
against another similar instrument. The percussion family is believed to
include the oldest musical instruments, following the human voice.
7. Wind Instruments are typically grouped into two families: Brass instruments (horns, trumpets, trombones, euphoniums, and tubas) Woodwind instruments (recorders, flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, and bassoons)
8. Musical Ensemble
Also known as a music group or musical group, an ensemble is a group of people who perform instrumental or vocal music, with the ensemble typically known by a distinct name. Some music ensembles consist solely of instruments, such as the jazz quartet or the orchestra.

I enjoyed the second lesson due to
the amount the students were able to interact. The instructor began by
explaining the lesson, highlighting differences, and providing
illustrative examples. The engaging aspect peaked with a game that had
all students actively participating. The lesson concluded with a crucial
summary, ensuring that students grasped the concepts covered. This
recap, following the energetic activity, proved essential in reinforcing
the lesson's objectives and preventing students from losing sight of
the main purpose.
I Unit: Teaching Theme: Visual Thinking Strategies Introduction Today we are visiting the Lowe Art Museum, one of the oldest museums in South Florida, with one of the greatest collections. We will meet Mark Osterman, who will introduce us to VTS (Visual Thinking Skills), a methodology that facilitates discussion about art, in general, and about the Lowe's collection specifically. II Learning Objectives Understand the use of VTS in the classroom Explain the meaning of VTS Gain awareness of the process and its intentions when used with school children Experience facilitating a VTS session III Main Lesson 1 Visual Thinking Strategies: Terra Foundation Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a learner-centered instructional method used to examine and find meaning in visual art.

I Unit: Teaching Theme: Toxic Culture of Education Introduction A toxic school culture is defined as an environment where professionals are not on the same page; do not trust each other and where the performance and mental health of teaching staff has impacted in a negative way. Joshua Katz goes further by saying that "we have created a 'Toxic Culture of Education' in our country that is damaging students, impacting our economy, and threatening our future." The video presented today reflects Katz's notion about how this situation can be fixed. II Learning Objectives Understand the challenges faced by public school teachers Explain aspects of Katz' speech with which you agree or disagree Gain an awareness of the way in which we could fix the system Experience what is like to empower new teachers by discussing this subject III Main Lesson 1 Minilessons Ajay Allen, Antonio Tripp, Olivia Miller, Ryan Steinberg, Rudy Stonisch 2 Stu...
REVIEW dopamine convergent thinking divergent thinking conceptual art I Unit: Conceptual Art Theme: Installation Art Introduction Installation art could be considered a sub-set of conceptual art. As such, it is a genre that also allows teachers to expose children to a creative environment with little to no budget at all. The conceptual nature of installation art makes it also a great medium to expand an art lesson into an academic one. The term is used interchangeably with art installation. The former seems to be used to name the overall discipline whereas the latter seems to be use to name the actual piece. ------------------- II Learning Objectives Understand the importance of creativity in the learning process Explain the concept of installation art Gain an awareness of the versatility of installation art when used to teach other subjects Experience the creation of a n installation art ...
