Music Mission/Philosophy Statement

Mission Statement

Music instruction in the Elkhart Community Schools will prepare students to develop their own music capabilities so they will have the knowledge and understanding necessary for making personal and artistic decisions throughout their lives.

Music Philosophy

We believe the primary purpose of the school music curriculum is to provide a sequential and concept-driven program of instruction that encourages artistic, expressive and cultural development.

We believe the music program will lead and direct students toward lifelong learning in music.

Therefore, we recognize music as a basic part of the daily life of every student in the Elkhart Community Schools. Each student will have the opportunity to explore and develop self-expression in music and gain an appreciation for the effect that music has on his/her daily life.

Music Goals

The music proficiencies should provide:

1. A general knowledge of music literature, history, and theory.

2. Basic musical skills which will enable students to participate independently or with a group of musicians.

3. The opportunity to develop life-long appreciation for music as an art, a science, and a profession that will allow the student to enjoy and support musical activities.

4. The opportunity for all students to experience success on a level equal to their developmental stage.

5. The opportunity for all students to understand the relationship between music and other disciplines.

Quality Music Instruction: A Description

From Indiana’s Academic Standards for Music

Quality Music Education: A Description

Quality music education in the schools integrates fundamental musical activities and presents them in a sequential, pedagogically sound curriculum. As identified in the 1997 National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) in music, the processes of creating, performing, and responding to music are interwoven throughout a balanced and complete music program. The first of these processes, creating, involves composing, arranging or improvising music. Through these activities students engage their aural skills and prior knowledge of music to create a personal and original musical idea. By including creative activities from the earliest grades onward, teachers provide opportunities for students to construct new ideas and find satisfying means of self-expression. Since music is a form of communication, performing is a vital and natural aspect of music study. Performing, the second musical process identified, promotes a sense of personal accomplishment, shared goals, community, and the joy of experiencing a musical work from the unique perspective of performing it. Responding to music completes the trio of fundamental musical processes, and includes activities rich in mental, physical, and emotional complexity. As students learn to read and interpret musical symbols, they further their cognitive development and ability to think logically by learning a new sign system and a different approach to the world around them. As they study the historical and cultural aspects of music, students discover that music is a universal human activity. And as music study is connected to other disciplines, students discover the ways that one subject area can reinforce and inform another. Finally, as students learn to evaluate musical works they learn to discriminate, think independently, and develop their own views of musical meaning and beauty.

General Music

Grades: K-8

Course Description:

General music at the elementary level is a part of the total educational experience of every child in Elkhart Community Schools. The students participate in singing, listening, creating songs and dances, moving to music, and discovering the world of music that surrounds them. As students progress, they are taught music fundamentals and skills that enable them to sing unison, two and three part songs, play simple melodic and harmonic instruments, develop their creative talents, and learn to discriminate through listening experiences. The elementary music specialists provide a core of musical skills and concepts and assist the classroom teacher in using music as an integrated activity in other disciplines by providing them with guidance and appropriate supplementary materials.

The middle school courses provide students with an opportunity to continue to develop their interests and musical skills.

The curriculum is structured to provide students with an enjoyable experience so music will always have a pleasant connotation to the learner. Throughout the general music program a correlation of art, drama, dance, literature, and other areas of learning are integrated through listening and performing.

Course Objectives:

General music education students in Elkhart Community Schools:

1. Employ critical thinking skills to evaluate all areas of music.

2. Collaborate as members of a group to achieve a common musical goal.

3. Relate music to their personal lives, to the other arts, and to areas outside of the arts.

4. Apply basic notational reading and performance skills.

5. Interpret and appreciate music from around the world.
