Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is discovered to need to be updated or curriculum programs have made changes, it is requested that the department team work together to bring the course of study current. The music teachers revised this course to align with the current standards and meet the Visual or Performing Arts requirement for the CSU/UC. General Music is intended for middle and high school students who meet the high school graduation CSU/UC A-G Requirement of "F" Visual or Performing Arts.
Music is a theory-based course designed to help students develop fundamental skills in analyzing, reading, and creating music. By processing, analyzing, and responding to music, students will gain valuable knowledge in making and understanding music, including listening, performing, reading, and writing. They will also learn terminology vital for communicating with others about music. Students will perform on an instrument by themselves and/or in ensembles. Students will learn how music is used in various situations and its influence on their culture. By implementing in-class annual performances (Fall, Winter, and Spring), students will develop confidence and fluency in demonstrating their understanding of previously learned concepts. This involves learning through active practice, rehearsal, creation, performance, and exhibition. A more focused study of the Historical and Cultural Context will be completed through the works of classical composers to gain an understanding of the historical contributions and cultural dimensions of their works.
