         - playing notes on instruments (guitar, bells, recorders, and rhythm instruments)
    Terms - musical terms and what do they mean (rhythm, beat, meter, unison, harmony, metronome...)
         - can we use terms to describe the music
     Instruments, ensembles, famous musicians (past and present day)
     Singing - Singing in unison, harmony, pitch, diction, tempo...
