Its purpose is to provide descriptions of 102 music curriculum documents published by Ontario boards of education between 1980 and 1991. Both Guides form part of a larger study of music education in Canada, sponsored by the Canadian Music Education Research Centre. This Guide details the following features of each curriculum document: Issue date Language Number of pages Program attainment objectives Instructional plans Instructional resources referenced Resources included Designated grade level Program type Characteristics of the recommended repertoire Methodology endorsed (e.g., Orff, Dalcroze, Kodaly, Concept-based) Pedagogical emphases (e.g., listening, creating, performing, movement, musical games, notation, analysis and critical thinking) Evaluation methods and approaches recommended Indexes are provided to assist readers in identifying documents which focus on specific grade levels (elementary, high school, middle school) or on specific types of program. For those interested in studying music education in Canada, published curriculum documents are a rich source of information. While not all teachers actually follow the guidelines set forth by boards of education, the published documents .QQ. reveal the orientation of board of education officials and leading music educators at a given time. We acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of the boards of education which provided us with the music curriculum documents described in this Guide. We acknowledge also the valuable assistance of Larissa Bachnivsky, Danielle Berry, Deborah Bradley, Beata Buczkowski, Drew Gill, Deborah Goldhar, Lisa Kim, Kristi Laird, Bonnie Rosenberg, and Yee Man Tsui in preparing this volume.
