1 Music Curriculum Grade 3: Unit One 1 P a g e

2 Course Description The goal of Unit One is to build the vocabulary of students so they are able to understand what the possibilities are when they create, perform, or respond to music. In addition to building students knowledge about the elements of music, in third grade we begin to explore the variety of ways music is expressed. Specifically, in third grade, students will explore how music has been used in dance throughout time and a variety of cultures. 2 P a g e

9 9 P a g e Interdisciplinary Connections Although schools are set up with each discipline receiving separate instruction and, with the exception of some interdisciplinary approaches, there is very little collaboration between each discipline. However, there are numerous natural connections between each discipline as the skills and knowledge learned in one subject become tools to learn and develop skills in another discipline. Whenever possible these connections should be utilized and students should be made aware of this use. Language Arts This is perhaps one of the easiest connections music teachers can make. Gordon s whole approach is based on the connection between the development of language skills and the development of audiation. The Orff processes uses language for rhythm development and to teach form, as well as poems and stories as source materials for creations (you don t need to go out and find poems and stories to set to music, ask the language arts teacher what they re using and use that). One way to explore a culture s music is through the rhythmic cadence and pitch frequencies used in the language and what is also found in the music. The creative process is also the same. Paterson Public Schools uses the Writer s Workshop that teaches students to generate ideas, create a rough draft, edit and revise the work, and then publish it. Change publish to perform and you also have the process for writing music as well, which is probably why the students write in composition notebooks. Specific examples include (but are not limited to): Unit 1 Reading Literature & Informational Text; Opinion Writing - Read song lyrics (poems) and be able to describe what the song is about. Be able to find information about an element of music in a text. Write about which element of music they think is the most important. Mathematics Mathematicians, Pythagoras being one of the earliest recorded contributors, have helped us understand what turns

10 Science 10 P a g e sounds into music. This is another subject with numerous natural connections to music, especially when it comes to pattern recognition, rhythm measured in fractions of a beat, the use of ratios for intervals, understanding the works of Arnold Schoenberg, etc.. Specific examples include (but are not limited to): Unit 1 Multiplication, Division and Concepts of Area Connect with the division of the beat into two or three parts (simple/compound meter). If the song is a triple compound meter, how many divisions are there in each measure? Unfortunately, acoustics is not well covered in the science curriculum. However, by teaching acoustic principles we can compensate for this oversight as well as introduce students to a career they might otherwise overlook. With some creativity you can usually use the standards for the physical sciences to justify explorations in acoustics. However, most of our connections to the rest of the Science standards will be in the form of repertoire selections that incorporate the topic (such as songs about the seasons, particular animals, etc.). Specific examples include (but are not limited to): Unit 1 FOSS Structures of Life Create/use repertoire regarding the life cycle of plants, with special focus on seeds. Create/use repertoire related to crayfish and bones. Social Studies The arts have always been influenced by political, social, and economic factors, so studying cultures through the lens of music can also help students better understand these three components of their own culture and cultures throughout the world. Specific examples include (but are not limited to): Unit 1 People Build Communities What role does music have in the community? How is this the same or different from other communities?

NJCCCS Art and culture reflect and affect each other. (e.g., CPI#: A.1) NJCCCS Characteristic approaches to content, form, style, and design define art genres. (e.g., CPI#: A.2) NJCCCS Sometimes the contributions of an individual artist can influence a generation of artists and signal the beginning of a new art genre. (e.g., CPI# A.3) NJCCCS Works of art may be organized according to their functions and artistic purposes (e.g., genres, mediums, messages, themes). (e.g., CPI#: A.1) NJCCCS Formalism in dance, music, theatre, and visual arts varies according to personal, cultural, and historical contexts. (e.g., CPI#: A.2) NJCCCS While there is a shared vocabulary among the four arts disciplines of dance, music, theatre, and visual art, each also has its own discipline-specific arts terminology. NCAS - How do the other arts, other disciplines, contexts, and daily life inform creating, performing, and responding to music?

24 (e.g., CPI# B.3) NJCCCS Artists and audiences can and do disagree about the relative merits of artwork. When assessing works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art, it is important to consider the context for the creation and performance of the work (e.g., Who was the creator? What purpose does the artwork serve? Who is the intended audience?). (e.g., CPI#: B.5) 24 P a g e
