Creating lessons for one of my fourth grade classes is a challenge. I was looking for ways to motivate all of them so I decided to give them the choice of what pieces to work on and which instrument to play them on. I have let them pick their piece before but never their instrument. Overall, it worked pretty well. It allowed all students to succeed and empowered them to pick the music/instrument that fit their strengths.
I created a sheet that listed the instrument choices and the pieces they could pick from. I also gave them room on the back to pick their own music. They put a check mark in the corresponding box when they completed the piece and I put my initials in the box once they performed it for me.
