Music Lesson Plan

Music is one of the best things in this world. It can take us in so many different places while we remain sitting or standing still. It plays with our imagination and emotion. We use it to express and impress. Everybody loves music. Everybody listens to music. Unfortunately, not everyone can play music. At a young age, we were taught the fundamentals of music at school.

We learned a few basic things, maybe a few chords and note descriptions. Some of us continued to play as we grew up and got better at it, some stopped. And while it is important we get exposed to these pieces of information early, while our minds are still developing, you should still be encouraged to learn to play music at any age. With that said, here are a couple of music lesson plans for you to utilize.

This music lesson plan talks about being able to follow rhythmic patterns. That is something every musician should know, of course, but this lesson plan also talks about being happy in music and instruments appreciation. It is almost always certain that these things just come to us without the help of a lesson plan, but to read it on paper reminds us of the fact that we should play music because it makes us happy. That may not be the only reason why, but it should at the very least be at the core.

Music is everywhere. That may sound cliché, but it is true. You can create music no matter where you are. Whether you are at home, in school, at work, just with the clap of your hands and a stomp of a foot, you can already create beats to follow. But that is just one aspect of it. To really play music is to learn many things and apply them with an instrument. It will be difficult at first, but it will all so much worth it in the end. After all, no one has ever regretted picking up and learning an instrument.
