A fully editable PYP Unit of Inquiry Planner built specifically for Music specialists - with music-specific Central Idea examples, subject-tailored Lines of Inquiry prompts, and performance and composition assessment formats.

Whether you’re planning your first PYP unit or your fiftieth, this template walks you through every element of the planning process - from Central Idea and Lines of Inquiry through to summative assessment, action planning, and post-unit reflection.

The learning sequence uses the full 6-phase PYP inquiry cycle. Everything is ready to fill in, not start from scratch.
