My impact on student learning began with the end goal in my mind. I aimed to build upon the 6^th grade treble chorus class’ knowledge of solfege and theory to strengthen their approach in rhythmic and melodic dictation exercises. After administering a pre-test requiring students to demonstrate their preexisting knowledge, I was able to create 3 unique 30 - minute lesson plans that I taught over the course of 3 separate class periods. Each lesson introduced a different element to help strengthen students’ dictation skills.
