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 or nontraditional sound
sources, including electronic ones, in composing and performing
simple pieces (a)
- use school and community resources to develop
information on music and musicians (b)
- use current technology to create, produce
and record/playback music (c)
- identify a community-based musical interest
or role and explain the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary
to pursue the interest or adopt the role (d)
- demonstrate appropriate listening and other
participatory responses to music of a variety of genres and cultures
(e)
- investigate some career options related
to their musical interests (f).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- use their voices, traditional instruments,
or "found sounds" to create a sound composition which is appropriate
for a holiday (e.g., Halloween)
- collect and catalogue the concerts scheduled
in their community for an upcoming month
- prepare a solo for performance, use library
materials at school or in the community to write a short paper
on the composer of a solo work they are preparing
- use a stereo cassette recorder and microphones
to record a group composition of their peers and play it back
in class
- describe, in their log, a variety of community
musical opportunities in which students may participate
- discover and report to the instrumental
class lesson what skills are necessary to participate in the regional
youth orchestra
- exhibit proper audience behavior when attending
a concert given by professional musicians
- determine and record in the log what education
and training are needed to become one of the following-a composer,
arranger, professional musician, or other occupation associated
with music.
