A Study of the Heritage, Culture, and Works ofAntonín Dvo?ák, Edvard Grieg, and Jean SibeliusUnit Lesson Plan: MU.68.H.1.1 – MU.912.H.1.1By Laura PinfieldFor presentation at the Florida Music Educator’s Conference Session:NGSSS, Literacy Standards and Mathematical Practices: Oh My! It All Comes Down to Planning~Orchestra Breakout Session~January 8, 2014Tampa, FloridaUnit Lesson Plan: MU.68.H.1.1 – MU.912.H.1.1Antonín Dvo?ák, Edvard Grieg, and Jean SibeliusAuthor: Laura Pinfield Date(s) 1/6/14Courses: M/J Orchestras 1, 2, 3, 4 and Orchestras 1, 2, 3, 4, Honors 5 & 6 Grade Levels: 6-12It is suggested that this lesson unit be paralleled with one or more additional unit plans. This plan, which addresses MU.___.H.1.1 is broad and open-ended in order to serve the learning process of orchestra students in any situation. The examples and resources are intended to serve as a springboard for the students and teacher to gain knowledge about the function of music in various cultures and time periods, and how culture is reflected through its music. The spiraling nature of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards allows the plan to encompass grades 6-12. The director may differentiate instruction by customizing the plan to fit the needs of students.The majority of the lesson is intended to be experiential by playing the music of Dvo?ák, Grieg, and Sibelius. Over time, small segments of several classes may be dedicated to discovering the similarities and differences in the composers’ heritages and cultures, and identifying Romantic Style Period compositional characteristics. All of Dvo?ák’s, Grieg’s, and Sibelius’ pieces that are listed in the current Florida Orchestra Association’s (FOA) Music Performance Assessment (MPA) List, levels ES through AS, are included in this unit plan as suggestions for middle and high school orchestras of varying levels. Additional examples of music for middle school are also included. One or more of these repertoire selections may be sight-read, rehearsed in class for proficiency, or polished for a performance program. As appropriate repertoire is discovered, it should be added to this plan. Many additional Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) may be documented as this unit plan unfolds and takes shape with students.
