3 Fine Arts Philosophical Assumptions In Aurora Public Schools, the performing and visual arts are essential to every child s education. As in other core content areas, arts education is based upon specific and comprehensive achievement standards at the local, state, and national levels. Challenging every student to construct meaning through performing and creating works of art requires highly qualified teachers. In addition to studying the arts for their own sake, experiencing and creating works of art benefit students intellectual, personal, and social development. Research indicates strong relationships among learning in the arts, fundamental cognitive skills, and capacities used to master other core subjects. The arts are a powerful means of communication both verbal and nonverbal among individuals, generations, and cultures. Through the arts people celebrate and understand themselves, others, and the world in which they live. All students benefit from art education for the reason that it develops the whole person while integrating and expanding learning across multiple areas of study. APS Arts Philosophical Assumptions

4 Aurora Public Schools Music Standards Continuum Grades K-12 The Aurora Public Schools proficiency and benchmark system has been revised to match the Colorado Model Content Standards. This document represents a compilation of the Colorado Model Content Standards and examples that illustrate specific instructional experiences. The five state music standards are presented in boldface and corresponding benchmarks are in italics. The document is organized by standards. The Rationale section explains the purpose/outcome of each standard. s are written in grade bands and indicate the performance level the student is to attain by the end of that grade band. Grades K-4 is one grade band. The benchmark changes at grade 5 and remains consistent through grade 8. Grades 9 through 12 will work toward the same benchmark. The tab for each standard contains the K-5 performance objectives, followed by the 6-10 objectives. The language of the benchmarks tells what students are doing; for example, describing, explaining, performing. The benchmark is the same within a grade band. The benchmarks are listed in italics with grade level expectations indicated below the benchmark (for example, (2.1a refers to Standard 2, 2, Performance indicator/objective a). Grade level objectives are written for each grade level or across multiple grade levels. All grade levels may not have an objective written for a particular benchmark indicating it is not taught and assessed at that grade level. are to be assessed by the teacher in the classroom using various types of assessments. Each grade level assessment framework is dependent on the learnings from previous grades. To be certain students meet the objectives for that grade level, teachers are to plan instruction based upon the objectives in the continuum. Colorado Model Content Standards for Music are available at APS Music Standards Continuum June 16,

5 Standard 1 DRAFT Music Grades K-5 Standard 1: Students sing or play on instruments a varied repertoire of music, alone or with others. Rationale: Music-making is one of our oldest, most intimate, and basic forms of communication and cultural expression. Singing, movement, or playing on instrument provides students with the means of learning musical and developmental skills, Learning to make music enables students to attain individual and group goals, acquire self-discipline, exercise diverse problemsolving skills, and opens avenues of success for all students. Growth in singing and playing music occurs by applying skills to increasingly challenging music literature. Grade level objectives K (grades K-4) (grades 5-8) 1.1 Singing or 1.1 Singing or 1.1 Singing or 1.1 Singing or playing music, with playing music, with playing music, with playing music, with appropriate appropriate appropriate appropriate technique, in technique, in technique, in technique, in rhythm, in tempo, rhythm, in tempo, rhythm, in tempo, rhythm, in tempo, and on pitch. and on pitch. and on pitch. and on pitch. 1.1 Singing or playing music, with appropriate technique, in rhythm, in tempo, and on pitch. 1.1a Sing songs in unison. 1.1b Practice appropriate posture and breathing techniques. 1.1a Sing in unison, in tempo, and on pitch. 1.1b Practice appropriate posture and breathing techniques. 1.1a Sing in unison or solo. 1.1b Use appropriate posture and breathing techniques when performing. 1.1a Sing simple partner songs and rounds. 1.1b Use appropriate posture and breathing techniques when performing. 1.1a Sing two-part harmony, partner songs, and rounds. 1.1b Use appropriate posture and breathing techniques when performing. 1.1 Singing or playing music, with appropriate technique, music written in two or more parts, in rhythm and in tempo, blending voices or instruments, and matching dynamic levels. 1.1a Sing a variety of songs in two or more parts. 1.1b Use appropriate posture and breathing techniques when performing. 5
