I chose this lesson because it integrated technology more than any of the other lessons I found. Usually music lessons just use a projector or a smart board for visual aids; They don't actually integrate technology. This lesson had students use the technology themselves. By using a projector, the visual aid was there but they also used a computer and Sibelius, which is a music notation program. This lesson plan met part of the standard. The standard incorporated many different parts of music like harmonic structure and meter, but this only covered rhythm. This isn't a problem, however because all of these concepts cannot be taught in one lesson. Rhythm would be the first of these that you would teach. I do think the lesson could have gone farther to cover meter in this lesson as well and just added an extra day to it. I don't believe these technologies are essential to this standard but they are incredibly helpful. Students could receive handouts and they could hand write their compositions out on manuscript paper but the technology make it a lot more efficient. Also, by using Sibelius, they get to hear their composition before the whole class plays it. They are also learning how to use a computer while doing this, so they are learning more than one thing in one lesson.
