1 Music Curriculum Grade 5: Unit Two 1 P a g e

2 Course Description The goal of Unit Two is to take the concepts students have learned in Unit One and begin to see how they are used to create musical compositions. Music is sound organized to be expressive and in Unit Two we begin to explore how sounds are organized. Students will compose a song in the style of an ism of their choice, which was studied in Unit One. 2 P a g e

NCAS - Musicians evaluate and refine their work through openness to new ideas, persistence, and the application of appropriate criteria. NJCCCS Criteria for determining the aesthetic merits of artwork vary according to context. Understanding the relationship between compositional design and genre provides the foundation for making value judgments about the arts. (e.g., CPI#: A.3) NJCCCS Identifying criteria for evaluating performances results in deeper understanding of art and art-making. (e.g., CPI#: B.1) NJCCCS Decoding simple contextual clues requires evaluation mechanisms, such as rubrics, to sort fact from opinion. (e.g., CPI#: B.2) NJCCCS Levels of proficiency can be assessed through analyses of how artists apply the elements of art and principles of design. (e.g., CPI#: B.4) NCAS - How do musicians improve the quality of their creative work? 15 P a g e

CPI#: A.1 Employ basic, discipline-specific arts terminology to categorize works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art according to established classifications. o Categorize a series of 8-10 pieces into different styles (e.g., jazz, classical, romantic, folk, patriotic, popular music, etc.) using graphic organizers, manipulatives, or other tools. CPI#: A.2 Make informed aesthetic responses to artworks based on structural arrangement and personal, cultural, and historical points of view. o Identify/analyze the structure of various musical forms (e.g., verse/refrain, chorus format, sonata, etc.) from varied cultures, time

31 periods or musical genres. CPI#: B.3 Demonstrate how art communicates ideas about personal and social values and is inspired by an individual s imagination and frame of reference (e.g., personal, social, political, historical context). o Use a graphic organizer or other tool to show common performance traits (e.g., technical fluency, rhythmic accuracy, intonation, etc.) in generally accepted great performances of music. Choose performances in three different styles (e.g., YoYo Ma s recording of a Bach Cello Suite, John Coltrane s Giant Steps, Ravi Shankar in a traditional Hindustani sitar raga). CPI#: B.5 Distinguish ways in which individuals may disagree about the relative merits and effectiveness of artistic choices in the creation and performance of works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art. o Describe three ways that individuals can agree or disagree about the merits of a musical performance based on technical and interpretive perspectives, the composer and his/her intent, and if the intent was realized. 31 P a g e
