This music theory lesson plan introduces students to basic music elements. The 45-minute lesson will begin with a diagnostic test to assess students' existing knowledge of music vocabulary. Students will then be split into groups and play a game matching musical instruments to their categories of percussion, wind, or string. They will present what they learned about instrumental categories. For homework, students will analyze a favorite song using the new vocabulary and present their analysis in the next class.
