A Detailed Lesson Plan in Music
Grade 3
I. Objectives:
At the end of 30-minute discussion, the pupils should be able to:
a. identify the pitch of the sound (high, medium, low) produced by each person, animal, or thing,
b. differentiate a higher-high, moderately high-moderately low, low-lower pitch in a song,
c. perform movements while singing the song for the different pitches (high, medium, low) in each
song.

Correct! Which sounds are low?

Good Job!
C. Presentation of the Lesson
In the use of notes in the staff, let us sing
the so-fa syllables using the Kodaly Hand Signs.
Very Good Children! Let’s sing the song
Yes Ma’am.
“Manang Biday”. Did you know this song?
Great! I’m going to sing it first then
Yes Ma’am.
everybody will sing. Are you ready?
Very Good singers! Did you love the
song?
Alright!
D. Lesson Proper
You loved to listen to songs because of
their pleasing sound. The musical quality that
Yes Ma’am.
makes a sound pleasing is referred to as
“melody”. Everybody say “melody”. “Melody” is
a rhythmical succession of single tones with
different pitches. It is also an arrangement of “Pitch”.
musical tones that form a pleasing tune, and that
is called “pitch”. Everybody say “Pitch”.
Each tone we hear in music is a pitch.
“Pitch” is the highness or lowness of tones.
People, animals, and some objects make sounds
that may be high or low. The pitch of a sound or
tone may be low, medium, or high.
A high pitch has light and thin sound.
A medium pitch has a moderate sound
that is neither too high nor too low.
A low pitch has heavy, dark, and thick
sound.
To identify what kind of pitch of the sound,
we are going to use a staff. A staff is made up of
five straight lines and four equal spaces.
We follow the writing and reading of notes
from left to right in the staff. This is the spaces of
the staff.
The staff and the spaces are like stairs,
starting of the tune from lower to higher. The tune
in every line of the staff and spaces is what we
call the “so-fa syllables”. This is the basis of the
tune in playing a song.
The highness and lowness of the pitch
depends on the position of the notes in the staff
and spaces. Listen to the sounds of the notes from
left to right, from bottom to top. Now, using E
Major Scale, try to sing the so-fa syllables.
We identify the highness or lowness of the
pitch when we compare the notes in the staff.
What is the pitch of the first note? Is it high High Pitch Ma’am.
or low?
Very Good! How about the second note?
Low Pitch Ma’am.
Correct! What is the pitch of the first note? Is Low Pitch Ma’am.
it high or low?
Very Good! How about the second note?
High Pitch Ma’am.
Exactly! Now, let’s sing the song “Head,
Shoulders, Knees and Toes” and later on you are
going to identify the parts of the song that are
higher-high, moderately high-moderately low
and low-lower pitch.
(The teacher will play and sing the song.)
(The children will sing and dance.)
Very Good singers! I’m going to call a name
then answer the given notes. Are you ready?
Yes Ma’am.
1. What lyrics of the song represent the lowest
note?
Toes Ma’am.
2. What lyrics of the song represent the highest
note?
Shoul- Ma’am.
3. What lyrics of the song represent a moderately
high note?
ders/and Ma’am.
4. What lyrics of the song represent a moderately and Ma’am.
low note?
5. What lyrics of the song represent the lowest Nose Ma’am.
note?
Very Good Grade 3 you are able to identify
what are higher-high, moderately highmoderately low and low-lower pitch! Let us
have more activity so that you can really
differentiate the high, medium, and low pitch.
Group activity.
Direction: Form a group and create
movements for different pitches of the tones in
each song “Paru-parong Bukid”. Perform these
movements while singing the song.
When the pitch is low, sit.
When the pitch is moderate, stand.
When the pitch is high, jump.
Very Good Grade 3!
E. Application
Activity: Guess me!
Direction: Identify the pitch of the sound
produced by each person, animal, or thing. Write

provided.

F. Generalization
Now, what do you call the arrangement
of musical tones that form a pleasing tune?
That’s right! What do we call the
highness or lowness of tones?
Very Good! What pitch is considered as
light and thin sound?
That’s right! What pitch is considered as
moderate sound that is neither too high nor too
low?
Exactly! What pitch is considered as
heavy, dark, and thick sound?
Melody Ma’am.
Pitch Ma’am.
High Pitch Ma’am.
Medium Pitch Ma’am.
Low Pitch Ma’am.
Good Job! Let’s do the fireworks clap!
