New Lesson Plan

Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

These lessons help introduce students to a famous Russian composer, Tchaikovsky, and the third movement from his Symphony No. 4, written in 1877 and 1878. This lively movement is known for its use of pizzicato (plucked) strings. This unit is comprised of four lesson plans. There are two lessons for grades K-2 (Lessons 1A and 2A) and two lessons for grades 3-5 (Lessons 1B and 2B, respectively). Lesson activities, while similar, are differentiated to fit the age groups.
