Topic:  Music in our life.  Favourite tunes.

“Music is the universal language of the world” (H.Longfellow)

                                                  Procedure

I. Greeting.

T.: Hello, dear children. I’m  glad  to see you  happy and  healthy and ready to work today. I want to start our lesson  with this poem. So, let’s listen to it.

Warm up. Listening to the poem “ Music”.

 Music

P1.:  Music is everywhere                                      P2.:  In the surge of  the   sea

         In the   hum  of the honeybee                                lapping  the shore.

         In the song of the breeze                                         In the roar of the storm

         As it shivers the trees.                                               rattling the door.

         In the river that murmurs                                         In the drum of the rain

         Over the stones.                                                         On the window pane.                                         

         In the snow  wind that moans.                                Music is here filling our ear.       

                                                                                                                    By  Ann Bonner.
