Learning and Developmental Goals:
The students will be instructed through five main concepts of music: duration (rhythm), pitch, tone color, form, and expressive qualities. The students will also acquire skills in singing, listening, movement, and playing classroom instruments. Classroom instruments include pitched and non-pitched instruments. Students will gain an appreciation for music by different styles and composers in the USA and in other cultures of the world. Above all, the students will develop a willingness to participate in musical activities. Learning and Developmental goals are based from South Carolina and National Standards for Music Education:
Standard 1 - Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.
Standard 2 - Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.
Standard 3 - Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments.
Standard 4 - Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines.
Standard 5 - Reading and notating music.
Standard 6 - Listening to, analyzing, and describing music.
Standard 7 - Evaluating music and music performances.
Standard 8 - Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts.
Standard 9 - Understanding music in relation to history and culture.
