i t r o d u c t i o Purpose Kidergarte to Grade 8 Music: Maitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes (the Music Framework) provides the basis for learig, teachig, ad assessmet of music i Maitoba schools. the Music Framework describes the learig outcomes for music educatio ad provides a basis for the developmet of curriculum implemetatio resources for Kidergarte to grade 8 music. it is iteded to assist teachers, admiistrators, ad parters i educatio with implemetig the music curriculum ad with plaig professioal learig. this documet provides backgroud iformatio ad implemetatio guidelies pertaiig to music educatio. it presets a overview of the Music Framework, outlies the documet compoets ad orgaizatio, ad idetifies the four essetial learig areas ad the geeral ad specific learig outcomes for Kidergarte to grade 8 music i Maitoba. Backgroud i 2003, Maitoba Educatio developed a draft positio statemet o The Arts i Educatio (Maitoba Educatio ad Youth) as a iitial step i reewig provicial curricula for the arts. i preparig this statemet, the arts educators who comprised the project team drew o curret research i arts educatio ad reviewed arts curricula from caadia ad iteratioal jurisdictios. the draft statemet was distributed to educatio stakeholders, alog with a ivitatio to provide feedback about the proposed directio for curriculum reewal. resposes provided by classroom teachers, school admiistrators, arts specialists, arts educatio orgaizatios, trustees, parets, ad post-secodary faculty were published i 2004 i Resposes to the arts i Educatio Survey: Summary Report (Maitoba Educatio, citizeship ad Youth). resposes to The Arts i Educatio positio statemet were overwhelmigly positive ad guided subsequet curriculum developmet of arts curricula i Maitoba. i Jauary 2011, the Wester ad orther caadia Protocol for collaboratio i Educatio, Kidergarte to grade 12 (WcP) prepared Guidig Priciples for WNCP Curriculum Framework Projects i respose to the sigificat chages i the ways people live ad work i today s world. the Music Framework reflects the WcP guidig priciples that are required to meet the eeds of today s creative ecoomies ad kowledge-based societies. i additio, the Music Framework draws o Maitoba curriculum ad support documets i various subject areas, icludig Kidergarte to Grade 12 Aborigial Laguages ad Cultures: Maitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes (Maitoba Educatio, citizeship ad Youth) ad Educatio for a Sustaiable Future: A Resource for Curriculum Developers, Teachers, ad Admiistrators (Maitoba Educatio ad traiig). arts educatio, icludig music i t r o d u c t i o 1
educatio, is importat for preservig ad urturig huma culture ad heritage ad ecessary for huma health ad social well-beig. Huma health ad social well-beig ad a sustaiable eviromet ad ecoomy are essetial ad itegrated compoets of a equitable quality of life ad a sustaiable future for all caadias. Educatio for a Sustaiable Future highlights commuity ad culture, the ecoomic viability of arts ad cultural eterprises, ad the preservatio of heritage ad culture as crucial sustaiability issues ad cocepts. Implemetatio i Maitoba, arts educatio is compulsory for grades 1 to 8. the miimum recommeded time allotmets for arts educatio i grades 1 to 8 are as follows: Grades 1 to 6: 10 percet of istructioal time Grades 7 ad 8: 8 percet of istructioal time Maitoba offers a distict framework for each of the four arts educatio disciplies: music, dace, drama, ad visual arts. although there are commo areas of learig i the four arts disciplies, each disciplie is distict ad requires uique laguage, tools, skills, techiques, kowledge, ad learig outcomes. the offerig of four arts frameworks provides resources for rich, comprehesive, ad diverse meaig makig ad ways of commuicatig through the uique literacies of music, dace, drama, ad visual arts. Because the idividual arts represet distict ways of kowig, each of the arts makes a sigificat cotributio to studets learig ad developmet. Learig is achieved through the variety of methods ad media iheret i a specific arts disciplie. Each arts framework ecompasses a variety of recogized strads or optios possible for each arts disciplie i the Kidergarte to grade 8 cotext. For example, the Music Framework is iclusive of possibilities such as geeral music, bad, choir, guitar, jazz bad, strigs, fiddlig, ad so o. Maitoba schools may offer oe or more idividual arts disciplies (music, dace, drama, ad/or visual arts). schools have the flexibility to choose the umber ad combiatio of arts disciplies appropriate for their local cotext, resources, ad eeds. the umber of arts disciplies offered i a school will deped upo available resources, allocated istructioal time, staffig, ad the arts implemetatio approach used i the school. Educators ca use a wide variety of approaches ad resources for implemetig arts educatio. For example, schools may offer arts disciplies idividually as a stadaloe model, arts disciplies i combiatio with each other, ad/or arts disciplies itegrated with other subject areas. curriculum itegratio reiforces meaigful coectios withi ad across disciplies. the arts erich ad are eriched by each other ad other subject areas by affordig ew ad deeper isights ad a greater rage of possibilities for commuicatig experiece ad meaig. Whe true itegratio occurs, o idividual subject area is used solely to support learig i other subjects. Educators are ecouraged to itegrate arts learig outcomes with other subject areas where meaigful ad appropriate, while maitaiig focus o studet achievemet 2 K i d e r g a r t e t o g r a d e 8 M u s i c : M a i t o b a c u r r i c u l u m F r a m e w o r k o f o u t c o m e s
of the arts learig outcomes. Each arts framework is cosidered fully implemeted oly if all four essetial learig areas for ay oe arts disciplie are explored i comprehesive, substatial, ad itercoected ways. to teach ay of the four arts disciplies effectively, teachers eed the appropriate kowledge ad skills, which ca be acquired i various ways, icludig specialist educatio, preservice ad i-service educatio, ad other professioal learig opportuities. Cotet the Music Framework cotais the followig compoets: Itroductio: the itroductio addresses the purpose of, backgroud to, ad implemetatio guidelies for music educatio i Maitoba schools from Kidergarte to grade 8, as well as outliig the cotet of this documet. Overview of the Music Framework: the overview focuses o the ladscape of music, the ature of the music disciplie, ad the ratioale for music educatio. it also discusses learig i music, describig the learig process, highlightig the trasformative learig potetial of music educatio, ad outliig the guidig priciples for learig i music. Music Framework Compoets ad Orgaizatio: this sectio explais the use of the butterfly image as a metaphor for learig ad as a graphic orgaizer for the distict ad itercoected parts of the music curriculum. the body of the butterfly is show to represet the developig music maker at the cetre, with each of the four wigs represetig oe of four itercoected essetial learig areas. the ways i which the wigs work together ad idividually to orgaize ad itegrate the geeral ad specific learig outcomes of the music curriculum are also discussed. the essetial learig areas ad the geeral learig outcomes are preseted i this sectio, alog with a guide to readig these elemets ad the specific learig outcomes. Kidergarte to Grade 8 Music: Studet Learig Outcomes: i this sectio of the Music Framework, the geeral learig outcomes (glos) ad the specific learig outcomes (slos) that studets are expected to achieve i the music curriculum from Kidergarte to grade 8 are orgaized ito four essetial learig areas. Each essetial learig area begis with a statemet of the overall learig itet of the area or wig, followed by the glos addressed withi that area. the slos that relate to the respective glos are preseted o facig pages, with the Kidergarte to grade 4 slos preseted o the left page ad the grades 5 to 8 slos preseted o the right page.

o V E r V i E W o F t H E M u s i c F r a M E W o r K The Ladscape of Music the Maitoba Music Framework is coceived as a full ladscape of kowledge where educators ad studets meet i the work of active, embodied music learig. Educators ad studets are ivited ito the livig field of music educatio through a curriculum desiged to place studets i the dyamic, complex, workig culture of music. the Music Framework is built usig four iterrelated essetial learig areas, coected to the studet music maker at the core. Way-fidig through the music eviromet is provided by coected sets of geeral ad specific learig outcomes for the essetial learig areas. curricula for today s world use ecological metaphors (WcP 6) to covey the otio that kowledge is dyamic ad always i the process of beig costructed. curriculum frameworks are coceived as complex, orgaic etworks orgaized ito livig fields or ladscapes, rather tha as fragmeted pieces of kowledge pieced together i a liear fashio. Learig i the ladscape of music meas learig the complexities ad ways of the disciplie while learig how to do i the disciplie. Learig the ladscape of music, or comig to kow ad do i the disciplie, meas the ability to eter ito, lear the way aroud, participate fully i, ad make a cotributio to the culture of music (WcP). Music learig is uderstood to be a jourey ito the ladscape of music educatio. the Music Framework provides multiple locatios for studets to eter ad cotiue lifelog trasformative travels i the music ladscape. studets may have various trajectories through a music ladscape that creates a uique poit of view, a locatio with specific possibilities for ehacig the learig capability of [their] sphere of participatio (Weger 197). Each studet s uique idetity, ad the idividual perspective it offers, is a gift to the world (Weger 197). The Nature of the Music Disciplie Music eriches a vibrat culture ad is itegral to huma life. it has the power to illumiate, deepe, broade, ad ehace huma experiece. Music ad musicias have a impact o daily experiece, help defie ad express idividual ad collective idetities, ad shape, reflect, ad commet upo societal ad cultural values. Music is a multimodal, cross-cultural literacy ad expressive art form. the ways of kowig through music iclude cogitive, physical, affective, ituitive, ad spiritual modes. Music embodies ad expresses ideas, feeligs, ad meaig. it commuicates withi ad across cultural, societal, historical, ad eve pre-historical cotexts. throughout history, music has played a sigificat role i huma life, cultivatig ad passig o culture, recordig civilizatio, ad affectig ad ifluecig society. Music is vital to huma life; o culture i the world exists without music. Music cotributes to persoal, social, ecoomic, cultural, ad civic aspects of people s lives. i cultures O v e r v i e w o f t h e M u s i c F r a m e w o r k 5
aroud the world, life s most importat evets weddigs, fuerals, birthdays, graduatios, religious holidays, ad commuity occasios are observed ad celebrated through music. Ratioale for Music Educatio Music is a vital part of every studet s educatio ad cotributes to deep ad edurig studet egagemet that leads to learig success. Music educatio develops uique, powerful, ad multiple ways of perceivig, iterpretig, kowig, represetig, ad commuicatig uderstadigs about self ad the world. through music experieces, studets have opportuities to thik creatively, explore ideas ad feeligs, ad develop emergig persoal, cultural, ad social idetities. the social act of music makig geerates syergy ad provides uique opportuities for studets to be part of collaborative ad diverse kowledge buildig. Learig music eables studets to explore ambiguity, to thik imagiatively, iovatively, ad with flexibility ad empathy, ad to feel cofidet with ucertaity ad risk. Music educatio promotes ope-eded, critical, diverget, ad dialogic thikig ad ecourages uderstadig ad feelig mediated through body, mid, ad seses. Music helps studets to appreciate ad coect with others past ad preset, as well as to uderstad ad celebrate their ow distictiveess. Mid, body, ad spirit iteract through music to egage studets profoudly as they seek meaig i the world aroud them. through music, studets are empowered with the creative eergies ad sese of agecy that are eeded to cosider diverse views ad trasform thikig ad possibilities. Music has the potetial to promote resposibility ad leadership ad to prepare ad ispire future citizes of the world to uderstad ad address the most critical challeges of their times. Learig i Music curret research, theory, ad practice give directio for quality music educatio withi the music ladscape. Quality music educatio, iformed by guidig priciples ad curret uderstadigs of how studets lear, has the potetial to trasform learig i powerful ways. The Learig Process Learig is a active, embodied, ad social process of costructig meaig. it is shaped by the dyamic iteractio of studets prior kowledge ad ew experieces. studets costruct uique uderstadigs i may differet ways, depedig o their iterests, experieces, ad learig styles, ad o persoal, social, ad cultural factors. studets are motivated to become egaged learers whe learig has persoal ad relevat meaig for them ad whe they have opportuities to reflect o ad guide their ow learig. i the school eviromet, learig occurs simultaeously across ad betwee multiple ested levels that iclude idividual ad collective learers, educators, ad schools, curriculum structures, artistic ad cultural commuities, ad discipliary kowledge (davis ad sumara 91). idividual, persoal kowig is efolded i ad ufolded from collective kowig ad activity (davis ad sumara 65). 6 K i d e r g a r t e t o G r a d e 8 M u s i c : M a i t o b a C u r r i c u l u m F r a m e w o r k o f O u t c o m e s
The Trasformative Learig Potetial of Music Educatio Learig i the arts, icludig music, has the potetial to foster trasformative learig. trasformative learig (Mezirow, trasformative Learig as discourse 58) ivolves the acquisitio of ew kowledge ad skills ad the buildig of competece ad cofidece to use disorietig experieces ad learig i the exploratio of ew perspectives, roles, ad relatioships that eable people to move to courses of actio (Mezirow, trasformative Learig theory 19). affective ways of kowig are sigificat for trasformative educatioal experieces (taylor 10) that challege ad chage the ways people view the world. affective ways of kowig are essetial to the critical reflectio ecessary for trasformative learig (taylor 10). the affective, embodied, ad authetic ways of kowig afforded by music educatio provide alterative ways of kowig ad beig (Butterwick ad Lawrece 36) that create multiple opportuities for trasformative chage. arts-based processes have powerful trasformative potetial because they tap ito embodied kowig, hoor emotios, ad create spaces for rehearsal for actio.... ad imagiig of alterative realities (Butterwick ad Lawrece 44). Guidig Priciples for Learig i Music the followig guidig priciples for learig i music are based o curret thikig i curriculum developmet. Music is uderstood to be a expressive art form a active, embodied, livig disciplie a form of literacy with a uique set of tools ad laguage, multimodal processes, skills, kowledge, ad forms Quality music educatio affords a diverse ad broad rage of music ad music experieces, participatory approaches, ad ways of thikig about, learig, iterpretig, ad represetig music itegrates the four etworked essetial learig areas to develop cocepts ad skills with meaig, coherece, depth, ad competecy focuses o essetial questios of why music learig is importat, what uderstadigs ad meaigs the music tools ad laguage ca commuicate, what music ca reveal about culture ad idetity, ad what purpose ad meaig music has for idividuals ad commuities builds o prior music learig i a reflective, recursive process so that ew possibilities emerge ad ew uderstadigs, patters, ad relatioships grow deeper, richer, ad more sophisticated ad complex over time ad through experiece is sufficietly substative to geerate deep coceptual uderstadig ad learig that eables learers to make coectios, reaso, iovate, problem solve, critique ad create (WcP 4) O v e r v i e w o f t h e M u s i c F r a m e w o r k 7

M u s i c F r a M E W o r K c o M P o E t s a d o r g a i Z a t i o The Music Framework Butterfly the Maitoba Music Framework philosophy, essetial learig areas, ad learig outcomes are represeted graphically ad metaphorically by the image of a butterfly. as a graphic orgaizer, the butterfly image forms a diagram comprisig five distict ad itercoected parts: the four wigs that each coect to the fifth part, the mai body i the cetre. Each of the wigs represets oe of four essetial learig areas ito which the learig outcomes of the Music Framework have bee classified. the cetral area or body of the butterfly, the part to which all the wigs coect, represets the studet as a developig musicia. the butterfly image promotes the belief, itegral to the Music Framework, that every studet s growth as a musicia ad a music-literate perso ca be realized through ogoig learig experieces that coect creative music activities, techical kowledge ad skill developmet, the buildig ad broadeig of cultural ad historical uderstadigs related to art ad life, ad ogoig reflective ad critical thikig opportuities that focus o music ad persoalized learig. the butterfly also fuctios as a metaphor for music ad music educatio, alludig to trasformatio, selfactualizatio, visual beauty, ad resiliece. the butterfly image may stimulate may other associatios by those who ecouter this Music Framework; such geerative thikig is fittig for a framework iteded as a impetus to creative ad persoalized learig.

The Cetre of the Butterfly the words Makig Music at the cetre of the music butterfly uderscore the active, participatory ature of music educatio ad emphasize the followig ideas ad relatioships: Makig Music the overarchig goal of the music curriculum is to support, urture, ad ispire the growth of every studet as a music maker. Music makig is valued as a idividual ad a collective experiece.
