following goals for students:
• Develop understanding of music through experiences in singing, playing instruments, performing
rhythms, moving to music, composing, and listening.

• Exercise critical thinking skills by investigating and analyzing all facets of the music discipline.
• Demonstrate awareness of and responsibility for the safe and responsible use of materials, equipment,
methods, and technologies.

Strands
Performance and Production
Students will demonstrate mastery of musical skills and concepts at levels of increasing difficulty. They will
learn to participate in music as a musician through singing, playing instruments, performing rhythms, moving
to music, and improvising/composing. Students will participate in all aspects of music production and
demonstrate appropriate use of related materials, methods, and technologies.
Music Theory and Cultural Context
Students will understand music by using knowledge of music theory, history, and the connections to the
culture in which it was produced. They will study and practice music theory through music reading, notation,
and sight-reading. They will use critical thinking skills to analyze the manner in which music is organized.
Students will identify the style and distinctive characteristics of music that delineate each of the basic periods
of music as well as the influence of technology and compositional techniques employed in all genres of
music. They will investigate the vocal timbres that are unique to children, adolescents, and adults. Students
will be guided in the development of criteria for making informed artistic judgments about music, as well as
about the other arts, and for evaluating the role of music in society. They will examine the interrelationships
of current events, developing technologies, and music in society.
Judgment and Criticism: Listening, Analyzing, Interpreting, Evaluating
Students will listen to, analyze, interpret, and evaluate music. They will articulate an objective evaluation of
musical works by analyzing the creative musical elements within them and explaining how they work
together to form a whole. Students will be guided in the development of criteria for making informed artistic
judgments about music, as well as about the other arts, and for evaluating the role of music in society. They
will apply these processes in creating and evaluating their own musical works.
Aesthetics: Responding, Reflecting
Students will respond to and reflect on the sensory, emotional, and intellectual qualities of music. They will
examine various cultural perspectives and the factors that shape aesthetics responses. By listening to and
Music can improve your child’ abilities in learning and other nonmusic tasks, but it’s important to understand that music does not make one smarter. The many intrinsic benefits to music education include being disciplined, learning a skill, being part of the music world, managing performance, being part of something you can be proud of, and even struggling with a less than perfect teacher.
