About this lesson
This is a free sample lesson plan from my collection of Super-Simple Music Tech Lessons (Using Free Websites) that have been recently added into the Midnight Music Community. This lesson uses one of my favourite free websites – Incredibox – which I’ve been using for since 2009!
In this lesson, students will learn about a cappella singing and beat-boxing as an art form and to identify the difference between melodic and percussive sounds.
Which age group/s does this lesson work with?
This lesson suits students in grades 4-8 (but you could probably extend beyond those age groups!).
Free website used in this lesson
This lesson uses the website Incredibox.
Incredibox has a free web version and a paid app. To access the free site, click on the Try Web Version button. You will be able to access the first 4 Incredibox styles (top row). The remaining Incredibox styles can be accessed via the paid app which is available for all devices. There is also a paid school version available which gives you and your students access to all styles in an ad-free, “closed” environment.
