These plans are great for non-musical subs and include answer keys where applicable. I have used these in my classes many times and love having a ready-made plan in my sub binder. You can mix and match plans between grade levels that are close to each other to get more use out of them as well.

All plans are based on Ohio music standards, which align with the National Music Standards.
