When planning a music lesson the teacher must include many opportunities for learners to engage and actively listen during the lesson. Few suggestions when planning a music lesson:

1. There should be music at the beginning and at the end of every lesson.

2. Guide learners in music listening by giving them specific criteria and specific which music elements they should focus on.

2. Accommodate the different learning styles, abilities and interests of learners.

A well-planned lesson plan moves from lower to high order levels of thinking
