Title - Staff Rap
By - Susie
Primary Subject - Music
Secondary Subjects - Other
Grade Level - 3-6
This is not really a lesson plan, but rather an idea to use to introduce the staff. When I used it recently, I illustrated the staff and explained the need for a staff in order to show pitch. I pointed out the difference between a line note and a space note. We counted the lines and the spaces and named them, then learned the rap. I put each verse of the rap on a small poster (I used Microsoft Word with a large font and printed it out on 8 1/2 x 11 card stock). I pointed to the appropriate places on the staff as we went along. The kids loved it, and of course wanted to add rhythmic accompaniment to it as they said it.
It is performed in 2/4 time, and I have put the words that get the accent (1st beat) in ALL CAPS.
