Music: a Parent's Guide to the Curriculum Music: A Parent’s Guide to the Curriculum District Mission The South Brunswick School District will prepare students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, effective communicators and wise decision makers. This will be accomplished through the use of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) and/or the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) at all grade levels. The schools will maintain an environment that promotes intellectual challenge, creativity, social and emotional growth and the healthy physical development of each student. ~Adopted 8.22.11 Curriculum Aligned to NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) Board Approval of Music Curriculum August 2016 This curriculum is approved for all regular education programs as specified and for adoption or adaptation by all programs including those for Special Education, English Language Learners, At-Risk Students and Gifted and Talented Students in accordance with Board of Education Policy. Note to Parents The curriculum guide you are about to enter is just that, a guide. Teachers use this document to steer their instruction and to ensure continuity between classes and across levels. It provides guidance to the teachers on what students need to know and able to do with regard to the learning of a particular content area. The curriculum is intentionally written with some “spaces” in it so that teachers can add their own ideas and activities so that the world language classroom is personalized to the students. How to Read the Curriculum Document Curriculum Area of content (e.g. Science) Topic Course or Unit of Study (e.g. Biology) Grade Level Grade Level Cluster (e.g. High School) or specific grade level (e.g. Kindergarten) Summary A brief overview of the course or unit of study. Rationale A statement as to why we are teaching this course or unit. Interdisciplinary Which other areas of content to which there is major linkage. For example, a health education Connections unit might link to science, language arts, social studies, art, physical education, etc. 21st Century Connections How this course or unit is preparing students to be college and career ready. Referred to as S.A.L.T., each course or unit indicates which of the following it is building: • Skills such as critical or creative thinking, collaboration, communication, or core values • Awareness such as global, cross-cultural or career. • Literacy such as information, media, technology, etc. • Traits necessary for success in life and careers such as productivity. Terminology Key vocabulary and terms Standards Here you will find the standards that this course or unit of study is addressing. Our curriculum is standards-based. The standards are the foundation of the unit. You can get more information on state standards by going to the NJ Department of Education at www.state.nj.us/education/cccs Enduring The big ideas, concepts or life lessons that students walk away with at the end of a unit of study. Understandings Essential Questions Open ended questions that are considered throughout the unit of study. These are big, “worthy of wonder” questions often with multiple responses. Objectives The discrete skills and knowledge that students will gain during the unit of study. Assessments Assessments (tests, quizzes, projects, activities) that tell us if the students grasped the enduring understandings of the unit. Lesson Plans & Pacing Scope and sequence of lessons: how many, how long & approximately in what order. Resources Major resources associated with the course or unit. Acknowledgment We are appreciative of the leadership provided by the music teachers who served on the curriculum writing teams. In most cases, our lessons and units are “home-grown.” While aligning with state standards, they are designed with the needs of the South Brunswick student population in mind. Articulation At the K-8 level, teachers meet in job-alike settings bi-monthly. At the high school, music teachers meet according to the school’s monthly meeting schedule. As a K-12 group, a group of music teachers come together at least once annually for the purpose of planning their collaborative project, “The South Brunswick Music Festival.” Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo TABLE OF CONTENTS OVERVIEW OF THE K-12 MUSIC CURRICULUM CONTENT MISSION PROGRAM DELIVERY VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS CURRICULUM CONTENT STANDARDS ASSESSMENT BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS IN MUSIC K-5 GENERAL MUSIC PROGRAM OVERVIEW K-5 GENERAL MUSIC SCOPE AND SEQUENCE K-2 ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM MAP FIRST GRADE CURRICULUM MAP SECOND GRADE CURRICULUM MAP 3-5 ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS THIRD GRADE CURRICULUM MAP FOURTH GRADE CURRICULUM MAP FIFTH GRADE CURRICULUM MAP K-5 MATERIALS AND RESOURCES K-5 SONG LIST 6-8 GENERAL MUSIC PROGRAM OVERVIEW 6-8 GRADE ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS 6-8 SCOPE AND SEQUENCE 6TH GRADE CURRICULUM MAP 7-8TH GRADE CURRICULUM MAP 6-8TH GRADE MATERIALS CHORAL MUSIC PROGRAM OVERVIEW ELEMENTARY VOCAL MUSIC CONCEPT MAP MIDDLE SCHOOL VOCAL MUSIC CONCEPT MAP HIGH SCHOOL VOCAL MUSIC CONCEPT MAP ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ELEMENTARY COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS HIGH SCHOOL COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM OVERVIEW ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS SCOPE AND SEQUENCE ELEMENTARY BAND COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS HIGH SCHOOL BAND COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS ORCHESTRA PROGRAM PROGRAM OVERVIEW ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS AND ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ORCHESTRA SCOPE AND SEQUENCE ELEMENTARY ORCHESTRA COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS MIDDLE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CURRICULUM MAPS HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC THEORY COURSE OVERVIEW MUSIC THEORY I CURRICULUM MAP AP MUSIC THEORY APPENDIX A: K-5 GENERAL MUSIC UNIT PLANS K-5 RHYTHM UNIT PLANS K-5 PITCH MATCHING UNIT PLANS K-5 NOTATION UNIT PLANS K-5 LISTENING UNIT PLANS APPENDIX B: MIDDLE SCHOOL GENERAL MUSIC UNIT PLANS ST APPENDIX C: HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC THEORY AND MUSIC IN THE 21 CENTURY UNIT PLANS APPENDIX D: CHORAL MUSIC UNIT PLANS ELEMENTARY CHORAL UNIT PLANS MIDDLE SCHOOL CHORAL UNIT PLANS HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL UNIT PLANS APPENDIX E: BAND UNIT PLANS ELEMENTARY BAND UNIT PLANS MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND UNIT PLANS HIGH SCHOOL BAND UNIT PLANS APPENDIX F: ORCHESTRA UNIT PLANS ELEMENTARY ORCHESTRA UNIT PLANS MIDDLE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA UNIT PLANS HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA UNIT PLANS GLOSSARY ENRICHMENT MUSIC: MIDDLE SCHOOL OVERVIEW OF K-12 MUSIC CURRICULUM I. Content The arts bring an important dimension to the educational program of the schools. Arts education draws upon personal feelings and experience as well as on logical and intellectual thought and should be an integral part of every child’s total education. The South Brunswick arts program ensures the development of the whole person, expanding the world of ideas and self-expression for children. The diverse activities in the music program are designed to engage students of various cultures, races, ability levels and interests. Emphasis is placed on assisting the individual child fulfill personal needs, goals and potential. Music aptitude is an intelligence that is unique to the human race and all children possess this aptitude. Cultivating this music aptitude in our students also cultivates their humanity. The South Brunswick arts program provides for quality music education. This program includes the study of music fundamentals and appreciation, performance, instrumental and vocal instruction and ensemble experiences for students in all grades and for all levels of ability. This program helps to create lifelong learners of music. In addition to the curricular opportunities, our schools provide co-curricular opportunities in a variety of forms such as vocal ensembles, orchestras, marching band, jazz ensembles, visual ensembles, pit orchestra, musical theatre productions, handbell choirs, adjudicated festivals, select small ensembles – all of which allow for the deeper study for those students who choose to work in greater depth. II. Mission We believe that, as a result of experiencing the South Brunswick Music Curriculum, our students will be able to: o Respond to music in subjective, aesthetic, analytic and evaluative ways. o Imagine, create and think abstractly through music. o Interpret music as a reflection of the life, values and ideas of this and other cultures. o Increase awareness, respect and appreciation for the musical heritage of America and that of other countries. o Interpret ideas, attitudes and feelings effectively through musical involvement. o Acquire a sense of ensemble and successfully participate in a variety of vocal, string and instrumental music ensembles. o Demonstrate growth in auditory perception, music literacy and as members of an audience through purposeful and critical observation and listening. o Become life-long learners and lovers of music as either consumers, performers, creators or teachers. III. Program Delivery The delivery of music differs by level. o Students in Pre-K receive 30 minutes of music instruction on weekly as part of their Special Subject schedule. o Students in grades K-2 receive music instruction on one day per week as part of their Special Subject schedule. o Students in grades 3-5 receive music instruction

  • Ringer Socialisation & Interaction Activities Fun Non-Ringing Team
    Ringer Socialisation & Interaction Activities Fun non-ringing team-building activities for a handbell group Permission granted for reprinting by: Malcolm C Wilson, Dunblane www.ringinpraise.org.uk Continued from Part 1 posted May 2010 in ringEr-Notes Introduction Are you looking for a fun activity that has a handbell theme? Perhaps for a short break from regular ringing rehearsals or at a gathering of many ringer groups, or a ringer party. The idea of a handbell group being a team, working together as one unit and every ringer getting to know each other better can be nurtured by activities such as those that follow. Each of the games below can incorporate further interaction as part of the game e.g. by making it part of the game for each ringer to introduce themselves to the others in their team or perhaps to say something about themselves. And the accent is on fun! Many more familiar games can be given a handbell "twist" - have a "brainstorming" session with other ringers once they've seen the games and your imagination is the only limit! Have fun! Looking for more quick and easy ideas for your choir? Check out Tips & Tools each month in Overtones! Members you can log in now at our website www.agehr.org to see digital archived copies of Overtones. Benefits of Membership Local, Area and National opportunities rolled-up into 1 AGEHR Membership “AGHER is a great organization and provides us with LOTS of continuing information.

  • Instructions for Caroling Safely
    Why Should We Sing? Greetings and thank you for downloading this resource. We hope that it will give you ideas, guidelines, and an easy jumpstart to “fill the night with music and light.” Your presence in the world will help others see the light of hope and the music of good will for all people in this challenging time. This is why we sing. Whether you are worshiping online or in adapted in-person gatherings, singing in enclosed spaces is still not advised. So what do we do when it isn’t safe to sing inside? We take it outside! Let us reclaim and amplify this beloved tradition of caroling, bringing more hope, love, joy, and peace to the world. Who Should Sing? Everyone! This could be an endeavor led by members of your choir and musical ensembles. Perhaps they are leaders of small groupings of people from your church, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to participate and have solid, confident leadership. If you have a larger choir, perhaps smaller groupings of singers from the choir are sent out to different parts of your community or member’s homes (especially those that will not be able to get out themselves). You may have already-established groups of people who meet for small group fellowship and study and they could form a caroling group. The booklets and recordings are set up in such a way that even households with no prior caroling experience could engage in singing together for their own enjoyment. www.worshipdesignstudio.com/carol2020 1 How Shall We Sing? Safety Guidelines While we all continue to yearn for a sense of normalcy and to be able to celebrate this important part of the Christian Year, we also take our responsibility to “love thy neighbor” very seriously.
