M/J Exploring Music Performance   (#1300080)

General Notes

Students with little or no vocal or instrumental experience develop basic foundational skills and knowledge, including music theory, technique, musicianship and ensemble skills.  Students also explore different genres of music and learn about the benefits of music study.  Students may be required to attend one or more performances outside of the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom.  This course may require students to obtain a musical instrument (e.g., borrow, rent, purchase) from an outside source.

English Language Development (ELD) Standards Special Notes Section:

Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting.   For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success. The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL’s need for communication and social skills.
