1 WESTFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS Westfield, New Jersey Office of Instruction Course of Study 8th GRADE STRING ORCHESTRA School... Intermediate School Department... Visual and Performing Arts Length of Course... Full Year (5 days per week) Grade Level... 8 th Prerequisite... Teacher recommendation & Assessment Date... February 17, 2015 I. RATIONALE, DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE Eighth-Grade String Orchestra is a full year elective course that offers the student a richer string experience expanding on previous music knowledge gained in the sixth and seventh grade. The instructional presentations within this course encourage students to work with their peers. Individual confidence is continually reinforced by seeking logical conclusions to rehearsal nuances. In addition it demonstrates the effectiveness of working cooperatively toward a common goal, a concept essential for a successful ensemble situation. Through the nature of this aural art form, the students musical progress is constantly monitored in rehearsal and the evaluation culminates in the final performance. As the course progresses, it is expected that the students develop patience, persistence, and collaborative skills. Prior instrumental music experience is required. All students must demonstrate a proficiency level on their instruments conducive to playing at a level of Grade II to Grade III music regardless of whether or not they were in the seventh grade string program, are transferring from another discipline, or are new to the district. Skills and fundamentals developed through eighthgrade will provide the foundation to continue at the high school level. String literature will continue at a Grade III-III ½ level. II.
