1 Wind Gap Middle School Instrumental Curriculum Grades 4-8 Introduction: Instrumental music is a sequential course of study that spans from grades This curriculum focuses on grades 4-8 instrumental music and is built upon four units that encompass the entire body of knowledge an instrumentalist must draw from to perform. These units are: equipment, Executive skills, musicianship skills, and ensemble techniques. This curriculum references the Pennsylvania State Academic Standards for the Arts and Humanities. These standards focus on four primary concepts: Production of Music, Historical/Cultural Context, Critical Response, and Aesthetic Response. Music instruction works in a spiral framework, in which students draw from these four tenets in every increasing levels of depth and complexity. 1
2 Subject Area: Instrumental Music Grades 4-8 Unit I: Equipment Unit Outcomes: This unit teaches basic care and maintenance required for string instruments. NOTE: The instructional content of this unit does not fall under the typical standards for music education. However, basic care and maintenance of instruments are necessary for a properly functioning instrument, without which one cannot make music. Essential Outcome and Related Standards: A. Students will provide maintenance for their instrument though the completion of tasks required for the daily care of wind, percussion, and string instruments. State Arts Standard(s): H, H Common Core Standards: ELA 1.2 B. Students will be able to identify all parts of their instrument. State Arts Standard(s): H, H Common Core Standards: ELA 1.2 Content and Instructional Activities: A. Students will provide maintenance for their instrument though the completion of tasks required for the care of string instruments. a. Daily tasks (STRINGS): Check humidifying device in dry climates Protect instrument from hard knocks Wipe rosin dust from string, instrument, and bow Check tilt of bridge and the feet of the bridge Check bow for proper tightness and rosining. Loosen the bow before returning to the case b. Monthly or bi-monthly Checks (STRINGS) Check frequently for cracks or openings in the instrument Check strings for fraying or unraveling Check tuning pegs for smooth movement Tighten nut that secures the tuners Check bow hair if I is smooth or sparse, have it re-haired c. Daily checks (Winds) Grease any corks on the instrument as needed Swab woodwind instruments after each use Oil Valves and grease slides as needed Check tuning slides for movement apply grease if needed d. Monthly or bi-monthly checks (Winds) Clean brass and woodwind mouthpieces with soap and water Clean residue from trombone slides, apply new cream/oil 2

6 Instruments Diagrams, handouts Mirror B. String students will demonstrate proper right hand skills to achieve characteristic tone for their instrument. This includes fluent bowing motions, control of bowing variables (arm weight, bow angle, bow speed and bow placement), in a variety of bowing techniques and articulations. Bow hold for violin/viola: knuckles over the stick, first finger on it s side, pinky on the screw, tip of thumb should be in U of the frog, no tension in hand Bow hold for cello/bass: Knuckles curled over frog, tip of thumb in U of Frog, hand C shaped, no tension in hand. Control of bow variables arm weight. The amount of downward force (via gravity) your arm places on the bow and string Bow angle the angle at which the bow hair meets the string is the hair flat or does it angle towards/away from the body Bow speed the speed at which the bow moves back and forth. Slower bow for long notes, faster bow for short notes Bow placement what lane the bow is moving in is it between the bridge and the fingerboard, or closer to the bridge or fingerboard. Different placement will yield varying dynamics and timbres. Bowing techniques covered in grades 4-8 literature: detache, staccato, slur, hook, spiccato, and any others appearing in age appropriate literature Teacher and peer reminders Worksheet, diagrams Videos of proper technique Videos/recording of what characteristic tone sounds like Ability appropriate material with easier articulations, bowing needs More difficult material with advanced techniques and articulations Teacher observation Playing tests Written quizzes Self assessment using video Instruments Music Playing test rubrics Video technology 6
7 C. String students will perform with correct left hand skills to achieve characteristic tone for their instrument.
