Standard 2: Knowing
and Using Arts Materials and Resources
2. Students will use traditional instruments,
electronic instruments, and a variety of nontraditional sound sources
to create and perform music. They will use various resources to
expand their knowledge of listening experiences, performance opportunities,
and/or information about music. Students will identify opportunities
to contribute to their communities' music institutions, including
those embedded in other institutions (church choirs, industrial
music ensembles, etc.). Students will know the vocations and avocations
available to them in music.
Students:
- use traditional, electronic, and nontraditional
media for composing, arranging, and performing music (a)
- describe and compare the various services
provided by community organizations that promote music performance
and listening (b)
- use print and electronic media, including
recordings, in school and community libraries to gather and report
information on music and musicians (c)
- identify and discuss the contributions of
local experts in various aspects of music performance, production,
and scholarship (d)
- participate as a discriminating member of
an audience when listening to performances from a variety of genres,
forms, and styles (e)
- understand a broad range of career opportunities
in the field of music, including those involved with funding,
producing, and marketing musical events (f).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- use an electronic keyboard and computer
to compose and print out a sixteen measure composition
- report to the class on a major musical organization
in the community and its schedule of performances for the school
year
- present a detailed oral report to the class
based on information gathered at the local library on a musician
and his life which includes recordings of some of the composer's
compositions
- gather information about stereo systems
from a local electronics dealer
- attend two different concerts and note similarities,
differences and personal reactions in their log
- research and write a report on a musical
career.
