Dear Educator,

Thank you for taking the time to peruse Step-by-Step Classroom Music. This grade 1 music curriculum has been created for a classroom teacher to deliver a General Music program. Step-by-Step Classroom Music teacher resources contain full lesson plans with clearly specified curriculum expectations at top of each lesson. The music lesson plans give extra explanation and teacher notes and have blackline masters and tests for students. In grade 1 the fundamentals of music are taught and in each successive year they are reviewed and built upon. If you have found us via this pdf document, we encourage you to visit the website: www.emcnotes.com to look at our other music curriculum products in this series and to view our SMART board music lessons and the new online music composition application. This sample contains links to audio in mp3 format. To access this click on the text that reads, “Play track…” , and the mp3 track will open in another window. If you have any questions or problems viewing or listening to the audio email paulmauro@emcnotes.com

Yours truly,
