Education: MENC Lesson Plans
MENC: The National Association for Music Education and From the Top
are pleased to bring you standards-based lesson plans based on From the
Top radio and TV shows. From the Top's weekly shows feature skillful
performances from the best young classical musicians in the country, along
with personal interviews making kids relatable to other students. Listening
to these peer role models creates a wonderful opportunity to foster musical
growth.
The lesson plans provided to supplement each show are produced as a result
of the collaboration between From the Top and MENC, the nation's largest
arts association. The lesson plans teach important musical concepts and insights
from featured performances, interviews, coaching sessions, and interactions
between the talented young performers and renowned guest artists. Created
with MENC's guidance and expertise, these lessons will help you integrate
the National Standards for Music Education in your curriculum in a way that
will engage your students and inspire them to higher levels of musical achievement.
