Big Idea: There are formal and informal processes used to assess the quality of works in the arts. Standards and Essential Questions Standards: 9.1.12.A, 9.1.12.B, 9.1.12.C, 9.1.12.G, 9.1.12.H Essential Questions: 6th Grade How do people use music? Why do people create music to illustrate different aspects of their lives? How can musicians influence the way people view the world? What role does music play in many different cultures? How do people compare very different musical works? How do composers and performers make choices that affect the way audiences perceive their work? 7 th Grade How can music be combined with other art forms? How do people use contemporary technologies to create music? How can music help us understand values and beliefs? Why is music created at different times and in different cultures both the same and different? Concepts Students should know that: While much of the schoolbased musical experience happens within a group, it is also important for people to be able to create, recreate, rehearse and perform music There are a number of individual skills needed in order to create, recreate, and perform music. The skills needed to perform in an setting are related to, but are in addition to, the ability to perform Skills need to be built sequentially, with specific practicing techniques, over time. There are specific criteria to consider and to listen for when making value judgments regarding a musical performance. Competencies and Core Skills Students will be able to: Demonstrate the ability to independently create, recreate, rehearse and perform musical works and explain why this is important. Perform with expression and technical accuracy a large and varied repertoire of instrumental literature appropriate to grade level. 6 th grade level 2-2.5, 7 th grade level 2.5-3, 8 th grade Sightread, accurately and expressively, music appropriate to grade level. 6 th grade level 1-1.5, 7 th grade level 1.5-2, 8 th grade level 2-2.5.
