Objectives:
● Students will be able to play a snippet of a song by ear on their instruments (or singing)
Procedures:
● I will tell students that we’re going to work on some aural skills by learning a snippet of a
song by ear.
● I will play the first lyrics of “Golden” by Harry Styles (“Golden, golden, golden as I open
my eyes…” and wait a couple of seconds to let students start to get some ideas.
● I will play it again, and then ask for someone to tell me the starting solfege
● I will play it twice through, and then ask for a volunteer to play, and then another
volunteer to tell me the solfege
Assessment:
I’ll get instant assessment from the two students who play and tell me the solfege, and I’ll ask the
rest of the class to give me a thumbs up, thumbs in the middle, or thumbs down for how much
they got of the piece.
