Title: Learning about Pitch: High and Low

Materials: - A musical instrument (such as a keyboard or xylophone) - A pencil and paper - A computer or tablet with internet access (optional)

Steps:

1. Start by explaining to the pupil what pitch is. You can say something like, “Pitch is how high or low a sound is. When we hear a sound, we can tell if it’s high or low based on how it sounds to us.”

2. Show the pupil your musical instrument and play a few notes, asking them if they can tell which ones are high and which ones are low. Encourage them to listen carefully and use their ears to figure it out.

3. Once the pupil has a basic understanding of high and low pitch, ask them to try playing some notes on the instrument themselves. Let them experiment with playing high and low notes, and encourage them to listen to the differences between them.

4. Next, have the pupil draw a picture of a high note and a low note. You can give them some examples to work with, such as a bird singing a high note and a frog croaking a low note. Ask them to draw the notes as they imagine them, using colors and shapes to represent the sounds.

5. If you have access to a computer or tablet, you can show the pupil some videos or audio clips that demonstrate high and low pitch. There are many resources available online that can help reinforce the concept.

6. Finally, ask the pupil to write a short paragraph about what they learned about pitch today. Encourage them to use their own words and describe the concept in a way that makes sense to them.

By following these simple steps, your pupil will have a basic understanding of pitch and be able to identify high and low notes. This is a great foundation for further musical exploration and learning.
