NOTES:
✦
Curriculum: The curriculum is delivered via a series
of lessons grouped by “Opus”. An Opus focuses upon
a particular music concept and/or skill (see Curricu-
lum Scope & Sequence Section for more detail).
✦
Each Opus is designed to develop comprehensive stu-
dent understanding of specific musical concepts. Stu-
dents will sing, play, discuss and/or listen using the
new concept, then apply that concept in individual
and group creative activities. Because the introduc-
tion of concepts is integrative and sequential, songs,
activities and skills in subsequent Opuses reinforce
and reapply the concepts introduced in previous
Opuses.
✦
Initial Opuses are ideally suited to be used with stu-
dents as early as the second and third grade who pos-
sess important basic reading skills and motor develop-
ment. Introductory “Preludes” provide experiences for
early learners Pre-K through first grade, as well as
learners with special needs.
✦
Literature: Music In Education songs and listening ex-
cerpts have been selected to provide traditional and
contemporary musical examples for students. Multi-
part song arrangements accommodate learners of all
levels, regardless of their previous musical experience
as well as providing arrangements that incorporate
Orff, recorder, string, woodwind, brass, and percus-
sion instruments.
