It represents the stage in the evolution of New Brunswick’s elementary level music education curriculum. Foundation for the Atlantic Canada Arts Education Curriculum defines Key-Stage Outcomes for grades three, six, nine, and twelve. Each Key-Stage Outcome is connected to one of eight General Curriculum Outcomes (GCO’s), which are grouped into the three strands outlined below. STRAND 1 STRAND 2 STRAND 3 CREATING, MAKING, AND UNDERSTANDING AND PERCEIVING, PRESENTING CONNECTING CONTEXTS REFLECTING, AND OF TIME, PLACE AND RESPONDING COMMUNITY GCO 1: Students will be GCO 3: Students will be GCO 6: Students will be expected to explore, challenge, expected to demonstrate critical expected to apply critical develop, and express ideas, awareness of and value for the thinking and problem-solving using the skills, language, role of the arts in creating and strategies to reflect on and techniques, and processes of the reflecting culture. respond to their own and arts. others’ expressive work. GCO 2: Students will be GCO 4: Students will be GCO 7: Students will be expected to create and/or expected to respect the expected to understand the role present, collaboratively and contributions to the arts of of technologies in creating and independently, expressive individuals and cultural groups responding to expressive works. products in the arts for a range in local and global contexts, of audiences and purposes. and value the arts as a record of human experience and expression. GCO 5: Students will be GCO 8: Students will be expected to examine the expected to analyze the relationship among the arts, relationship between artistic societies, and environments. intent and the expressive work. General Curriculum Outcomes (GCO’s) divide into Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes (KSCO’s). For example: GCO 1: Students will be expected to explore, challenge, develop, and express ideas, using the skills, language, techniques, and processes of the arts, has the following grade 3 Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes in the Foundation for the Atlantic Canada Arts Education Curriculum. 1 MUSIC K-5 By the end of grade 3, students will be expected to: • Sing and play with accuracy in pitch and rhythm, using appropriate expressive elements; • Explore a range of sound sources, texts, strategies, and materials to express their thoughts, experiences, and feelings through music and movement; • Use standard or other notations, and their own invented or adapted notations, to record their musical ideas and the musical ideas of others. It should be noted that the format of New Brunswick’s 1996 document, Music Curriculum Outcomes K-8, is different from other documents in that it does not define General Curriculum Outcomes and it articulates Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes for grades two, five and eight. In addition, four columns, instead of three strands, are used to cluster the Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes. COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4 RESPONDING TO MUSIC AND MUSIC LITERACY MUSIC MAKING MUSIC CULTURE Deals with the signs Requires guided Promotes the Promotes a broad and symbols that participation in various development of skills historical and cultural constitute written group sizes in a variety in listening, describing, perspective, and an music.

For each of the above columns, Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes are identified for grades two, five, and eight. For example, Column 1: Music Literacy has the following Key-Stage Curriculum Outcomes for grade two: By the end of grade 2, students will: • Play short melodies within a range of a third • Sing short melodies using s-m-l • Read simple rhythms such as half, quarter and eighth notes and the corresponding rests • Recognize groupings of beats in 2’s and 3’s • Demonstrate through performance an understanding of loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low • Notate short rhythmic phrases that use quarter notes, paired eighth notes and quarter rests While the details of the organization of the two documents are different, an analysis reveals that the vision and general concept are similar. The similarities of curriculum content become apparent when the strands of Foundation for the Atlantic Canada Arts Education Curriculum are compared to the columns of Music Curriculum Outcomes K-8. Essentially, the first strand, “Creating, Making and Presenting” corresponds to columns one and two, “ Music Literacy” and “Music Making”. Strand Two, “Understanding and Connecting Contexts of Time, Place and Community”, contains similar content to Column Four, “Music and Culture”. Lastly, Strand Three, “Perceiving, Reflecting and Responding”, relates to Column Three, 2 MUSIC K-5 “Responding to Music”. To create the new curriculum,

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

    NCRC 2012 Radio Awards Application, Documentary Bio and Program Note Producer: Brian Meagher Bio: It all began when I was six years old and I heard `Popcorn` for the first time. I remember being at the A&W Drive-In, the waitresses arriving at our car on roller skates, and this incredible song providing the soundtrack. Electronic music has provided my soundtrack ever since. Program: Synthumentary (episodes 1-3) Description: Synthumentary is a five-part look at the evolution of the electronic instruments and their place in popular culture, from the earliest electromechanical musical devices to the Moog explosion of the late 60`s and early 70`s. Synthumentary presents a survey of the landmark inventors, instruments, artists and recordings of each era. In each episode, we look at a different scene, discuss the era`s principle actors and play some of their music to illustrate the style of music made at the time. The evolution of electronic music technology is explained to frame each episode. Our aim is to provide the casual listener of electronic music with an appreciation of its possibilities and the more knowledgeable fan with at least a few nuggets of novel information. Among the subjects covered are: The Telharmonium, Theremin, The ”Forbidden Planet” Soundtrack, Raymond Scott, The Ondioline, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, Bob Moog and the Moog music phenomena, Silver Apples, and the Canadian scene: Hugh LeCaine to Bruce Haack to Jean Sauvageau. The intro and outro theme is an original composition written and performed by members of The Unireverse for Synthumentary. The audio submitted contains excerpts from all three episodes.
