Inquiry based Music class? Yes, it is possible. First, build student knowledge of rhythm patterns and their symbolic representation with short and fun direct instruction. Use card games and relays to reinforce this understanding in guided practice. Further strengthen kinesthetic awareness of rhythm and beat through interactive drum and percussion play. Next, show emerging musicians the melodic and harmonic graph otherwise known as the Treble and Bass staff. Provide interactive matching cards, peer to peer learning and soon they can decipher music notes on any printed music. Provide practice with recorders to develop eye and hand coordination while reading music in a self directed or peer to peer inquiry based level progression booklet. Follow up with trial and error discovery in teams to read a three part work for xylophone instruments. As the teacher steps back, leaders emerge and an ensemble is born. More practice and more instruments and soon students are ready to share all they have learned together with an audience. Music is a rich project / inquiry based learning environment because it provides a natural feedback system that corrects errors and rewards success with a beautiful, resonant sound that invites students to repeat the process again and again spiraling up into greater levels of achievement.
