Abstract
In six lessons, third grade students will study Chilean folk music. Students will be
developing auditory, rhythmic, and movement skills as well as their historical knowledge of the country. The lessons are designed to fit into a forty to forty-five minute class period. The lessons focus on the cueca dance and its importance to the country’s identity.
The unit helps students develop syncopation skills as well as recognizing musical sections of a piece while participating in a dance. Students are also exposed to a new culture and how music is experienced in that culture.
