Most learning targets in SCS Band's content are guided by a balance of 4 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 often is inherently embedded in music education, so each learning targets connects to our CVU graduation standards. Furthermore, our Habits of Learning targets are completely transferable and connected across disciplines.
