All lessons should be planned in order to achieve the objectives of the lesson. Music lessons and activities are also planned in order for the lessons to be a success. Shortly I will be sharing things a teacher should keep in mind when planning a music lesson or activity. 

Ensure that you play music at the beginning and at the end of a lesson.
 Never play music (YouTube or recordings) without a specific aim.

Any music that is 
listened to in the class must contribute towards reaching the lesson aims. Tell 
learners what they must listen for or what they must do while listening when playing 
a song in class.
 Be a facillitator, guide learners in music listening – give learners specific criteria, 
explain on which music elements learners must focus on, movement activities to 
carry out at end/during or give answers to questions during the music listening 
activity.
 Use different kinds of teaching and learning assessment activities in your 
lesson. 

plan more in your lessons,your lessons must not only be based on learners
listening to music, playing on istruments and only listening to what the teacher says.
 Use different activities. Explore techniques in art and music.
 Use the basic and simple Introduction to Teaching and learning phase to Conclusion 
building in mind as this will help you in the process of teaching and learning 
activities that advance from lower to higher-order cognitive thinking.
 Allow learners to make understanding of new vocabulary and skills on their own 
before you as the teacher could give them answers to questions asked.give them 
group works so tat they learn from one another and be independent.
 Think the types and approaches of assessment that you will use for all learning 
activities in the lesson.continious assesment must be implemented.
