9 – Years Basic Education Curriculum
Abuja Educational Resource Centre Scheme of Work
NAPPS National Unified Scheme of Work
Online Information from: Britannica – Membranophone | Musical Instrument
Relevant Textbooks

Instructional Materials

The teacher will teach this lesson with the aid of:

Samples of clay, fabrics, and smooth/rough surfaces.
Pictures or real examples of local membranophones like drums.
Charts showing types of textures.
Audio clips of membranophone sounds (if available).

Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding textures and classifying musical instruments helps pupils appreciate art and culture, develop creative skills, and connect with their heritage.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

Pupils already know about sources of colors and can differentiate between theatre and drama.

Instructional Procedures

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will adopt the following steps:

Content Development	Time	Teaching Method	Teaching Strategy	Teacher’s Activity	Pupils’ Activity	Learning Point
Step 1: Introduction	5 mins	Set induction	Interactive Questioning	Introduces the lesson by asking pupils if they have felt different textures (e.g., soft, rough).	Share examples of textures they’ve felt (e.g., clothes, tables).	Pupils recall prior knowledge on textures.
Step 2: Explanation	10 mins	Lecture Method	Direct Teaching	Defines texture and explains types of textures using clay, fabrics, and charts.	Observe and touch materials as teacher explains.	Pupils identify types of textures.
Step 3: Classification	10 mins	Lecture/Discussion	Visual Aids	Explains membranophones and shows examples like drums and tambourines.	Discuss and classify the instruments with guidance.	Pupils classify instruments into membranophones.
Step 4: Note Taking	5 mins	Writing	Guided Note Taking	Dictates and writes notes for pupils to copy.	Copy notes carefully into their books.	Pupils retain important information.
Step 5: Practical	5 mins	Demonstration	Group Work	Guides pupils to create textures using clay and group local instruments into membranophones.	Work in groups to demonstrate textures and classify instruments.	Pupils demonstrate textures and teamwork.
Step 6: Evaluation	3 mins	Questioning	Verbal Assessment	Asks questions based on the lesson to test comprehension.	Answer questions and clarify doubts.	Pupils demonstrate understanding of the topic.
Step 7: Conclusion	2 mins	Recap	Summary	Summarizes the lesson and emphasizes key points about textures and membranophones.	Listen attentively and ask final questions.	Pupils consolidate their learning.

Lesson Content

Types Of Texture In Arts & Classification Of Local Musical Instruments In Membranophone

Texture refers to how surfaces feel or look. It can be smooth, rough, soft, or hard. Artists use texture to make their work more realistic or expressive.

Types of Texture in Art:

Smooth (e.g., polished stone).
Rough (e.g., tree bark).
Soft (e.g., cotton fabric).
Hard (e.g., metal surface).
Bumpy (e.g., gravel path).

Membranophone Instruments:

Membranophones produce sound through vibrating membranes. Examples of local membranophones include:

Talking drum (Gangan).
Bata drum.
Djembe drum.
Tambourine.
Sakara drum.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Define texture and list three types.

Mention three examples of membranophone instruments.
Describe how texture adds to art.
Demonstrate a texture using clay.
Explain why classification of instruments is important.

Note for Teachers Using This Lesson Plan

Use relatable examples to make the lesson engaging. Encourage pupils to touch materials to feel textures. Highlight cultural relevance while discussing membranophones. Happy teaching!
