Lesson 6
Musical showcase
In this final project lesson, students will showcase their learning by designing and remixing their own original song. Students will apply all the concepts from the unit to plan and create a unique chord progression that reflects their own musical style. Students will then participate in a gallery walk, where they will share their creative work and provide constructive feedback to their peers.
