Student Showcase:
Within this interdisciplinary project, students took on a variety of roles that mirror professional music careers. These include:
Composers, Recording Engineers, Music Historians, Jingle Writers, Artistic Deisgners, Tour Booking Agents, Musician's Union Representative, Musicians' Attorney & Music Publicists. Through research, analysis, revision, and use of guided rubrics, students gain a deeper understanding of music, collaboration, and real-world applications. Each project is designed to reach DOK Level 4, allowing students to apply knowledge, create, design processes, critique outcomes, and engage in extended thinking.
