Music Unit Planning Guide / Templates
These templates are designed for music teachers (but can be used for any subject area, particularly specials/electives) to guide them in unit planning. I know I used to get overwhelmed when I would plan units because I had so many ideas but I wasn't sure how to organize them. Units can be themed (right now I'm teaching a "sun and moon" unit to pre-k through 1st grade), skill-based (ex. steady beat unit), or for older grades, the "unit" could be your preparation for a concert.This set includes a

It is meant to reflect the quiet gray days of winter with snow coming down and adding sparkle to the day.This is meant for my fifth grade ensemble and contains only quarter, half and whole notes. It could be played by any upper elementary or middle school be

This is a google slides assignment for online learning. The slides can also be printed out for use in person as well.

The next slides are for a report over a big band leader. This assignment is very self-explanatory and is great for an online class or to leave for a substitute.
