Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
Everyone, please stand up.
Good morning, everyone! Good morning, Sir Reynald!
You may take your seats.
May I know if there are students who
are absent today?
There’s none, Sir.
If that’s the case, then let’s proceed to
today's topic.
Again, I am Sir Reynald and our topic
for today is about Musical Instruments.
Last meeting, we discuss about the
properties of sound.
What is the properties of sound again?
Frequency, Pitch, Loudness,
Amplitude and Intensity sir!
Okay then what is the frequency? Frequency in a sound wave refers
to the rate of the vibration of the
sound travelling through the air
The amplitude of a sound wave
Then what about the amplitude? is the measure of the height of the
wave. The amplitude of a sound
wave can be defined as the
loudness or the amount of
maximum displacement of
vibrating particles of the medium
from their mean position when the
sound is produced.
Sound intensity is the power per
unit area carried by a sound
wave. The more intense the sound
is, the larger the amplitude
That is correct, then how about the oscillations will be
intensity?

2. Engage (10 minutes)
B. Establishing a purpose for
the lesson
C. Presenting examples/
instances of the new lesson
3. Explore (10 minutes)
D. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills #1
E. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills #2
Very good!
Okay now I’m going to ask you, who
among you can play a different type of
instrument?
(The student may answer vary)
Very good! Who else?
Okay then, I will divide you into 4
groups. Each group will research on a
family of musical instruments that are
present in a symphony orchestra.
Group 1 – Strings instrument
Group 2 – percussion
Group 3 – woodwind
Group 4 – brass wind
You will search how the instruments
that assign into your group make /
produce sound and you will give an
example of that kind of instrument.
You have 10 minutes to finish your
task.
Times up! Okay Group 1 please present (Group 1 will present their
your presentation. presentation)
Everyone, give a round of applause on
group 1.
Next, group 2, please proceed in the
front.
(Group 2 will present their
presentation)
Very good! Let’s clap our hand for
group 2
Next group! Group 3
(Group 3 will present their
presentation)
Okay everyone, let’s clap our hands on
group 3
 And the last group, group 4!

(Group 4 will present their

presentation)

4. Explain (10 minutes)

Now, we can easily distinguish the
music from the noise, although both of
them are caused by vibrations. Music is

pattern while noise has no definite
pitch and pattern.

There are three basics groups of

musical instruments.

- Stringed instruments
They are? Everyone please read the
presentation. - Wind instruments
- Percussion instruments

Can you give me an example of

stringed instruments?
- Guitar sir!
Very good, another!
- Violin sir
That is correct!
Then how it is played?
- by -plucking the strings sir while
the violin is played by rubbing the
strings with a bow.

That right! And they are usually made

by wooden sound boxes to amplify the
sound of vibrating strings.

Now, which strings in guitar and violin

makes a low pitch sound?
- the long and thick strings sir!

Very good! Then what kind of pitch

does the short and thin strings
produced?
- high pitch sound sir!

But how can we tune the strings on the

guitar and violin?

- by tightening or loosening the

strings sir. The tighter the strings,
the higher the pitch will be
produced, while the loose strings
 produce a low sound.
Very good! Now let’s proceed in wind
instruments.

Can you give me an example of wind

instruments?
Trumpets sir
Flutes!
Trombone
Okay that is correct! Wind instruments
including brass, their sounds are
produced when a musician’s lips
vibrate against the mouthpiece causing
the air column to vibrate.
Now what will happen if you blow to
hard into the wind instrument? What
will happened to the sound?

Very good! Another thing is woodwind - if you blow harder into the
instrument contains a thin flexible strip instrument, the volume of the sound

instrument produce sound when the
reed vibrates causing the air column in
the instrument to vibrate.
Varying the length of the vibrating air
column changes the pitch.

The long vibrating air column produces

what kind of sound?

Yes, it produces a low note while the

short vibrating air column produces a?

Very good! Low sound sir!

Last is percussion instruments

High note sir!

Again, can you give me an example of

percussions instruments?

That is correct! And how it will

produce sound?

Drums sir
And how can we adjust the pitch of the
percussion’s instruments? Cymbals
Xylophones!

Question, which do you think that

produced low pitch sound? It is the big
drum or small drum?
Very good! Now do you have any
questions regarding on our topic?
Then let’s proceed into our last activity.
The bigger drum produces a low
pitch while the small drum
produces a high pitch sound sir!
None sir!
This activity is called Make your sound
In this activity the students will be
group into 3 and they will create their
own sound out of the materials inside
the classroom and they can use the
instrument they already have in their
room (Clapping’s and the use of voice
is allowed). They will be given 10
minutes to do the task. They will be
rated through a rubric.
