Music: A guide for Strategic Planning Grade Level: K-2 3-5 Learn By Doing (Note: all programs will differ due to resources & if instruments are available to the program) The study of music contributes to the quality of every student's life. Every musical work is a product of its time and place. Through singing, playing instruments, and composing, students can express themselves creatively. Students learn more about their musical experiences which can enrich their environment and culture. Being that music is a vital part of human history, the ability to listen with understanding is essential for students from both a cultural and historical perspective. The skills, knowledge, and habits acquired in the study of music bring quality into the lives and growth of students. Every course in music, including performance courses, should provide instruction in creating, performing, listening to, and analyzing music. There should also be a discussion and understanding of its subject matter. Performing, creating, and responding to music are the fundamentals. Students, particularly in grades K-5, learn by doing. Singing, playing instruments, moving to music, and creating music enable them to acquire musical skills and knowledge. Students can better understand their own historical and cultural heritage and those of others within their communities and beyond. Music is a basic expression of human culture and students should have access to a balanced and comprehensive program of study in music. Content Topics: I. Music Making: Performance and Production a.

Responding & Reflecting Expectations: (Kindergarten-2nd Grade) The instructional objectives for K-2 serve as the foundation for further music instruction. Students are introduced to basic musical concepts through singing, playing instruments, moving to music, and listening with an emphasis on fine motor skills, using coordination and composing. Moreover, language and production of music should also be introduced and development of skills in singing, playing instruments, rhythm, responding to music, expression, movement, coordination and listening should be implemented throughout the grade levels. Introducing music in historical American culture and ways music is used in everyday life should also be incorporated into lesson plans. Ensemble playing, musical form and orchestral instruments should be introduced by the end of grade 2.

Music: A guide for Strategic Planning Grade Level: Cooperation & Collaboration (Note: all programs will differ due to resources & if instruments are available to the program) 6-8 The period represented by grades 6-8 is especially critical in students' musical development. The music they perform or study often becomes an integral part of their personal musical repertoire. Composing and improvising provide students with unique insight into the form and structure of music and at the same time help them to develop their creativity. Broad experience with a variety of music is necessary if students are to make informed musical judgments. This background enables them to begin to understand the connections and relationships between music and other disciplines. By understanding the cultural and historical forces that shape social attitudes and behaviors, students are better prepared to live and work in communities that are increasingly multicultural. The role that music will play in students' lives depends in large measure on the level of skills they achieve in creating, performing, and listening to music. Every course in music, including performance courses, should provide instruction in creating, performing, listening to, and analyzing music, in addition to focusing on its specific subject matter.

Music: A guide for Strategic Planning Grade Level: Recognize, Relate & Re-imagine (Note: all programs will differ due to resources & if instruments are available to the program). 9-12 The study of music contributes in important ways to the quality of every student s life as it relates to human experience. Every musical work is a product of its time and place. Music continues to appeal to humans through its timeless and universal attraction. Through singing, playing instruments and composing, students can express themselves creatively. Moreover, knowledge of notation and performance enables them to learn new music independently throughout their lives. Skills in analysis, evaluation and synthesis are important because they enable students to recognize and pursue excellence in their musical experiences and to understand and enrich their environment. Because music is an integral part of human history, the ability to listen with understanding is essential if students are to gain a broad cultural and historical perspective. The adult life of every student is enriched by the skills, knowledge and habits acquired in the study of music. Students will continue to develop skills in reading and understanding music notation and to explore the expression and organization of musical ideas. Content Topics: I.
