Mission Statement
  • The mission of the Music Program is to provide
    all students a sequential music experience, which
    fosters perceptual awareness, critical thinking,
    and creativity through the process of creating
    and performing music, and at the same time
    promotes an appreciation of music and its role in
    the world.

5
Primary Program Goals
  • Students will
  • Acquire knowledge and skills that contribute to
    aesthetic awareness of music.
  • Use the skills, tools, media, methods, and
    technologies appropriate to the creation and
    performance of music.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the elements and
    principles of music.
  • Develop a process by which they will observe,
    describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate
    artistic expression and quality.
  • Understand and analyze the role, development, and
    continuing influence of music in relation to
    world cultures, history, and society.

    same.

Recommendations

20
Recommendations
  • Standardize the delivery of the 4th and 5th grade
    choruses and the 5th grade instrumental program
    (scheduling, facilities).
  • Improve articulation and integration between
    elementary/middle and middle/high school to
    maximize participation.

21
Recommendations
  • Examine the general, choral, and instrumental
    middle school music program to insure
    consistency.
  • Realign the 9-12 music curriculum to the newly
    adopted New Jersey Core Curriculum Content
    Standards where necessary.
  • Continue to implement district assessments at
