Abstract
This unit of study allows fifth-grade students to study and expand their knowledge on the folk music of Ireland and its influence on American music. There are five lessons in this unit. Students will have the opportunity to develop their singing, moving, listening, musical analysis, and instrumental performance skills. Students will have the opportunity to learn the musical forms, rhythmic patterns, and instrumentation that define Irish music. This experience is designed to give students tools to appreciate Irish music and culture, understand American music and culture, and explore their own or other musical cultures.
