2.) The musical concepts students will gain would be steady beat, differences in dynamics, musical form, and pitch and melody.

3.) If i were teaching a lesson I would choose melody. Melody i think is easy for children to learn. The song I would choose would be Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. I would have a few students play with the recorders, other play with some different bells such as hand and step. I would play piano to help out the recorders and the bells keep instruments. One more thing i would have some of the children play would be to sing. Some students liek singing then playing instruments. After going through, we will change parts and have each children play a different instrument to see what they like to do. The concept of this would be to learn how to use the different instruments and play all at the same time. Learning about different parts of the song. Also, I would ask questions such as if they know who Old Saint Nicholas is and why he is called that. Give them an understanding of christmas and what its all about.
