As stated above the instructional setting will be a computer lab with computers preloaded with the Finale music program. The computer lab will have a printer so that the students can print their composition for grading. The teacher will have to create a Soprano melody and a Bass harmony to preload on all of the computers. For sake of ease it would be better to load the same melody and harmony on each computer.
During Class:
ThisInstruction will be given before the students are allowed on the computers about how to use the music program Finale and how to insert notes in the proper location. This is the each beat.
Accommodations and Extensions:
Should a student have a learning disability Finale actually tells the student what note they have entered as well as letting them hear the note and the entire composition that they created that way they can successfully complete the exercise.
Back Up Plan:
Should the technology fail with a few computers in the lab the students can take turns with the computers. Should the technology fail with all computers the teacher can easily write out the melody and harmony on the chalk board and give the students staff paper to complete the exercise.

During Class:
This is the time in which all students will be working on their own harmonies for the project. They will use the program Finale to simply add the note they wish to notate in the designated area. The students will be given a preloaded melody and harmony that is eight measure long. Should the students have trouble with not being able to find the notes that fit in the chord the teacher can help them by showing the possibilities of the three notes that are in the root of the chord. After students finish their creation they can share it with other students around them.

A student will be chosen to go first, that students rings their bell then callscomputer with the program Finale installed on another to ring theirs.it. The students mustteacher beforehand will create a basic soprano melody with a bass harmony. The student is then calltasked with creating harmonies out of the interval in which the two bells made.
This activity is important because it is the foundation on being able to properly analyze music as well as helping the students in theory. This is also a good exercise to begin the school year with as it helps the students get to know otherstenor and can be used as a "name" game.alto voices.

This exercise challenges them a chance to not only use a simple but effective instrument. This activity is a fun way for the studentsmusic program to learn about intervals.
