Children love music! Music evokes emotion while playing an important role in the development of children’s brains. In first grade music, Lesson Plan Ladies hope to nurture that enjoyment and development in two ways: music appreciation and skills.

LPL have carefully crafted 36 weeks of lesson plans from the books: Color the Christmas Classics and Pfeiffer House First Grade Music (included with this lesson plan purchase). These lessons plans also coincide nicely with our LPL First Grade History and Geography Lesson Plans, which focus on ancient times, including the birth of Christ.

Pfeiffer House Music offers an enjoyable, informative, and easy-to-teach curriculum blending rhythmic skill, classical pieces, chants, solfege, hand signs, flash cards, and fun. Your child will delight in the songs on the CD’s, asking to hear them again and again! He will learn basics skills, which will prove valuable for singing and, later, playing instruments. This easy-to-teach (and learn) curriculum will be adored by you and your child alike!

Color the Christmas Classics selects several famous musicians with whom to familiarize your child. Among them are George Frederic Handel, Adolphe Adams, and John Hopkins. You and your child will enjoy reading about these composers, coloring historically informative illustrations, and hearing, learning, and singing some original carols. Some of the time-honored carols include "Silent Night," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," and "Joy to the World." A beautiful CD is included with this purchase.
