This lesson plan is for a Women's Ensemble rehearsal at Geneva College on April 16, 2021. The plan involves warming up the students with various vocal exercises incorporating dynamics and articulations. Students will then learn about the IV chord in Eb major, the key of the song "True Colors", by building the triad and identifying its scale degrees. The bulk of the rehearsal will be spent adding dynamics to phrases of "True Colors" and accurately singing the last section of the song. Students will be assessed on their musical accuracy and ability to analyze the IV chord triad. Modifications and accommodations will be made as needed.

III. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to add expressions to phrases of
‘True Colors’ through the implementation of dynamics
and articulations
Students will be able to accurately sing the last page of
‘True Colors’.
IV. Materials  iPads for displaying music and warm-ups
V. A. Introduction Warm-Ups
 descending five-note scale on hoo (adding
dynamics)
 sliding up a fifth on ah (adding crescendo
and decrescendo)
 Laughing Is Contagious
 Woodchuck
 Do Is Like a Rock (solfege and scale
degrees)
 Ee, eh, ah, oh, ooh, on C, Eb, G, Ab, and
Bb
B. Procedures We will learn the IV chord in Eb Major (the key of
‘True Colors’). The students will add this chord to
their I-V-I progression.
Students will label the parts of the triad and identify on
what note the IV chord will start. They will then build
the rest of the triad using the intervals in the triad, and
identify the scale degrees used in the IV chord.
We will then begin rehearsing True Colors—beginning
with mm.49—63. We will then begin the process of
adding dynamics to our phrasing.
C. Differentiation Curwen hand signs will be used during warm-ups in
order to promote a kinesthetic method of learning the
scale degrees.
D. Closure Students will rehearse True Colors from the beginning
of the piece to the end.
VI. Assessment Students will be assessed on note, rhythmic, and
dynamic accuracy; as well as their ability to accurately
label the parts of the triad.
VII. Modifications and/or Instructions will be rephrased and restated as needed.
