Provide a metaview, lifting students into a wider view of the concept. Use another medium (not reading or writing) to connect students' personal knowing to the concept (i.e. visual arts, music, movement, metaphor, etc.) Involve learners in reflective production that blends the emotional and the cognitive.

Our Band/ Their Band.

Objective: To integrate personal listening with analysis and conceptual development.

Activity: Using the chalkboard, the teacher makes two columns: one is headed "Our Band," the other is headed, "Their Band." The students will analyze the tapes using the following procedure:
1. Determine differences in the two bands in specific sections of the music.
2. Indicate dynamic changes, rhythmic differences, and basic texture variations.
3. Analyze the intent of the composer in each section of the piece.
4. Using the piece as an example, the teacher will make sure the students comprehend note values and their dynamics.

Assessment: The students will rehearse the piece in sections demonstrating improvement, comprehension of note values, and the dynamics.
