Sequential learning means information is processed in order or "step-by-step." Rather than looking at something as a whole, sequential learning provides that each step is understood before moving on to the next. Sequential learning is beneficial within the classroom because it eliminates confusion for students. With each step finished before moving onto the next, students learn the information more thoroughly and in order so they become more ready for the next step.
Rote learning involves repetition. In music, it generally refers to the "I-sing-you-sing" teaching method where the teacher sings a phrase that is then repeated by the students. After singing a song with one phrase repeated, the students will move on to singing two phrases at a time. Finally, the entire song is sang and then repeated by the students. If any parts are not repeated accurately, then those parts should be practiced. After the song is sung correctly, the students can learn hand signals, motions, or choreography.
Steps of a Lesson Plan:
1. Anticipatory Set: getting the student's attention focused on the lesson
2. State the Objective: informing the students about what they are going to be learning
3. Teaching: Teacher Input: teacher gives the students information needed to accomplish the objectives of the lesson
4. Teaching: Modeling: teacher shows an example of what is acceptable as an end result
5. Checking for Understanding: teacher takes time to check the student's comprehension of the material
6. Guided Practice: teacher helps the students interact with the lesson material
7. Closure: wrap-up of the lesson, with a review and evaluation of what has been learned
