Most learning targets in SCS Band's content are guided by a balance of the 4 artistic processes from the National Core Art Standards for Music (NCASM):
Conceiving and developing new artistic ideas and work
Realizing artistic ideas and work through interpretation and presentation
Understanding and evaluating how the arts convey meaning
Relating artistic ideas and work with personal meaning and external content
The CVSD K-8 music teachers use, and often revise, a set of broad music learning targets that connect to the NCASM and fit into these 4 processes. The "connect" process is inherently embedded in music education, so each learning target also connects to the CVU Graduation Standards/Transferable Skills. Furthermore, our Habits of Learning targets help students connect their approach to learning across disciplines.
