he Middletown Music Curriculum for grades K-12 was completed in January 2013 by a team of K-12 teachers. The team, identified as the Music Curriculum Writers referenced

extensive resources to design the document that included but are not limited to:

• Best Practice, New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools

• Classroom Instruction That Works

• Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects

• Differentiated Instructional Strategies

• Educational websites

• Formative Assessment and Standards-Based Grading, Classroom Strategies That Work, Marzano

• National Art Education Association

• National Coalition for Core Arts Standards

• National Standards for Music Education

• Rhode Island K-12 GSEs for Music

• Webb’s Depth of Knowledge

The K-12 Music Curriculum identifies what all students should know and be able to do in art education. Each grade or course includes the National Standards for Arts Education, the Rhode Island Grade Span

Expectations for Music and the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, research-based instructional strategies, resources, map (or suggested

timeline), rubrics, and checklists.

The curriculum provides learners with a sequential comprehensive education in Music through the study of National Standards for Arts Education that include:

• Singling alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.

• Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music

• Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments

• Composing and arranging music within specific guidelines

• Reading and notating music

• Listening to and analyzing, and describing music

• Evaluating music and music performances

• Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts

• Understanding music in relation to history and culture

And through the study of Rhode Island Grade Span Expectations for Music that include:

• Artistic processes

• Cultural contexts

• Communication

• Aesthetic judgment

• Define content standards— what students should know and be able to do in Music

• Define what all students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade.

• Divide Common Core Standards into broad statements called the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (CCR) for Reading Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Lanagage (grades 6-12).

• Provide grade level specificity that define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.

The curriculum provides a list of research-based best practice instructional strategies that the teacher may model and/or facilitate, e.g.

• Employs strategies of “best practice” (student-centered, experiential, holistic, authentic, expressive, reflective, social, collaborative, democratic, cognitive, developmental, constructivist/heuristic, and

challenging).

• Facilitates the integration of Applied Learning Standards (SCANS)

o problem solving

o communication

o critical thinking

o research

o reflection/evaluation.

• Differentiates instruction by varying the content, process, and product and implementing

• Analyzes formative assessment to direct instruction.

• Provides exemplars and rubrics.

• Addresses multiple intelligences and brain dominance (spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical, linguistic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, mathematical/logical, and naturalist).

• Models the use of graphic organizers: sequence organizers (chains, cycle), concept development (mind map), compare/contrast organizers (Venn diagrams, comparison charts), organizers (word web, concept

map), evaluation organizers (charts, scales), categorize/classify organizers (categories, tree) relational organizers (fish bone, pie chart).

• Applies best practice of teaching music education:

o Facilitates peer and self-evaluation

o Organizes and facilitates public performances
