In a video presentation:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Angel of God my guardian dear to
whom God’s love commits me
here ever this day is at my side to
light and guide to rule and guard.
Amen.
( Pupils will check if their
seatmates are presents)

Our topic last day is about timbre,
timbre is the quality of the sound
made by a particular voice or
musical instrument.
(Pupils answer with unison)
Yes Teacher!

2. Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When there's nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky so deep
Through my curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
( pupils will sing)
C. Presentation
What did you notice about the beat of the
song that we sung?
Julie
Very well said. Here’s your star.
Now we were going to discuss another one
Elements of Music which is Tempo.
What is tempo?
Let us find out!
D. Discussion and analysis
Tempo is the speed of the song
It can be Fast
It can be Slow
Just like how we sung the Twinkle twinkle
little stars a while ago.
We sang the song in slow and fast tempo
as just what Julie said.
What is tempo again?
For better understanding, we will watch a
video about tempo by Mr. Greg.
Let us stand and follow what Mr. Greg
wants us to do in a video.
The beat of Twinkle twinkle little
star was slow at first
Then it goes faster.
Tempo is the speed of the
song
It can be Fast
It can be Slow

3. Now, can you give me other examples of
slow and fast tempo?
Singing a song such as rap song
has a fast tempo, dancing, running,
clapping our hands.
E. Generalization
Again, Tempo is the speed of the song it
can be slow just like how the turtle walk
and it can be fast just how the horse run.
F. Enrichment Activity
Identify the tempo of the following GIF’s
figure.
G. Evaluation:
I will group you into four.
You are going to imitate animals’
movement.
