This paper presents a lesson titled Ancient architecture and music. The lesson was carried out in Grade 7, based on the interdisciplinary integration of three subjects: history, visual arts, and music. During the lesson, pupils developed a comprehensive understanding of ancient cultures and their achievements. In history, pupils explored the characteristics of Greek and Roman architectural accomplishments and identified architectural elements such as columns, arches, vaults, and domes. In visual arts, they examined ancient architectural elements and aesthetics by designing and creating models of architectural landmarks. In music, pupils broadened their knowledge of ancient music and its influence on human character and society. They also made music with Orff instruments using ancient musical modes. The lesson aimed to develop an understanding of ancient architecture, architectural elements, and musical modes, as well as to recognize the connection between architecture, music, and culture. Pupils presented their findings in PowerPoint presentations, which they shared on digital platforms. The lesson offers an innovative, integrative, and interactive approach to learning that encourages collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. The paper aims to present the design and implementation of the lesson, analyze the use of digital tools, and examine the criteria for success.
