Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory: Musical Composition Process (10 - 12 minutes)

   1.1 The teacher begins to explain the musical composition process, which involves creating a song from its conception to its final realization. At this stage, students should learn about the importance of the following elements in musical composition:

    1.1.1 Melody: The teacher explains that the melody is the main musical line of a song, the sequence of notes that gives the 'tune' sensation. It can be vocal or instrumental.
   
    1.1.2 Harmony: The teacher discusses that harmony is the combination of notes that supports the melody. It can be simple or complex, depending on the music genre and the desired effect.
   
    1.1.3 Rhythm: The teacher emphasizes that rhythm is the element that organizes time in music. It can be marked by percussion, melody, or harmony.
   
    1.1.4 Lyrics: The teacher mentions that lyrics are the part of the song that brings the message, the story, the feelings. Not all songs have lyrics, but when they do, they should fit well with the melody, harmony, and rhythm.
   

   1.2 Next, the teacher presents different composition techniques, such as creating a hook, melodic variation, harmonic progression, among others. The teacher can use examples of popular songs to illustrate each technique.

   1.3 Finally, the teacher discusses the role of creativity and inspiration in the musical composition process. They may mention that inspiration can come from different sources, such as personal experiences, observation of the world around, other songs, books, movies, among others.

2. Theory: Music Genres (5 - 7 minutes)

   2.1 The teacher introduces the concept of music genre, explaining that it is a categorization of songs with common characteristics.

   2.2 The teacher discusses that music genres are defined by a combination of elements such as instrumentation, arrangement, style, theme, and even the historical and cultural context in which they emerged.

   2.3 The teacher presents some examples of music genres, ranging widely from classical to contemporary, from popular to classical, from regional to international.

   2.4 For each music genre, the teacher highlights its main characteristics, illustrating with musical examples. Students are encouraged to listen carefully and to note the differences and similarities between genres.

3. Practical Activity: Music Analysis and Composition (5 - 6 minutes)

   3.1 In this stage, students are divided into groups and receive the task of analyzing a song from a specific music genre. Each group should identify and discuss the compositional characteristics of the song, considering the melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and lyrical elements, and how these elements contribute to the style of the music genre.

   3.2 After the analysis, the groups are challenged to create a short musical composition inspired by the analyzed music genre. They should consider the discussed compositional elements and, if possible, use musical instruments or music composition software.

   3.3 At the end of the activity, each group presents their analysis and composition to the class. The teacher and other students provide constructive feedback, highlighting the positives and suggesting possible improvements.

   3.4 The teacher concludes the stage by reinforcing the importance of practice and experimentation in musical composition, and how the critical analysis of songs from different genres can enrich one's own musical creation.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (7 - 10 minutes):

   1.1 The teacher gathers all students and promotes a group discussion. Each group has up to 3 minutes to share their analyses and compositions with the class. The teacher encourages students to explain their choices and reflect on the composition process, the challenges encountered, and the solutions found.

   1.2 During the presentations, the teacher can ask questions to stimulate reflection and deepen the discussion, such as: 'Why did you choose this melody/harmony/rhythm/lyric?' 'How were you inspired by the chosen music genre?' 'What were the main challenges in creating the composition?'

   1.3 After all presentations, the teacher leads a collective discussion, highlighting the similarities and differences between the compositions of different groups, and how each group applied the concepts of musical composition and genre analysis in a unique way.

   1.4 The teacher uses the discussion to reinforce the concepts and techniques of musical composition, and to introduce new ideas and perspectives based on students' experiences and observations.

2. Connection with Theory (3 - 4 minutes):

   2.1 After the discussion, the teacher recaps the main points discussed, connecting them with the theory presented at the beginning of the lesson. The teacher reinforces the importance of each compositional element (melody, harmony, rhythm, lyrics) and how they work together to create music.

   2.2 The teacher also reiterates the role of music genres in composition, and how the analysis of songs from different genres can help composers expand their repertoire of ideas and techniques.

3. Final Reflection (2 - 3 minutes):

   3.1 To conclude the lesson, the teacher proposes that students reflect individually on what they have learned. The teacher may ask questions like: 'What was the most important concept you learned today?' and 'What questions have not been answered yet?'.

   3.2 Students have a minute to think about these questions. They can write down their answers if they wish. Then, the teacher invites some students to share their reflections with the class, if they so desire.

   3.3 The teacher welcomes students' reflections, clarifies any remaining doubts, and encourages students to continue exploring and experimenting with musical composition, inside and outside the classroom.

Throughout the entire process, the teacher should be active, encouraging the participation of all students, and providing constructive feedback and guidance when necessary. The goal is to create a collaborative learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing their ideas and experimenting with new approaches.
