As applied in my Internship:

During my internship, a lot of my preparation time went into detailed lesson planning. I needed to craft a lesson plan that met the daily goals that we needed to achieve while making sure each student was able to accomplish the goals set out. Accommodations and modifications were sometimes necessary to allow some students the opportunity to achieve the goals set. This was usually through pacing, color, modality, and size. I also needed to make sure that I was providing a wide range of musical content during my lesson planning. I had to ask myself questions like, "Do I need to introduce the history of this piece today?", " Do I need to take time out of the class to isolate concepts such as triplets in a simple meter piece?", or "Do I need to discuss the text in greater detail today, so the students understand what parts of the phrase need to be emphasized?" An example that I had to address one class, was in my Tenor-Bass choir. There were a few Bass singers that simply did not understand the concept of singing in a high register. For weeks my warm-ups focused on having these Bass singers learn to sing in their falsetto and transition through the break to the chest voice. Another thing I had to take into consideration was the 

catering to different intelligences such as visual learners, aural learners, and kinesthetic learners. This was usually in the form of me modeling passages or emphasizing the importance of solfege hand signs while sight singing. Taking extra time to plan diligent lessons that reach all students and incorporate many aspects of choral music is important to creating a well-rounded student.
