 In the Classroom,  these requirements can be met by reaching the following goals that I have outlined.

2) Students will participate in a variety of musical activities such as instrument playing, songs, games and movement. (Creative Expression/Performance)
 
3) Students will develop an awareness of different musical styles, cultures and genres. ( Historical/ Cultural Heritage, Perception/Analysis)
 
4) Students will learn how participation in music can relate to success in other subjects such as math, reading, science and social studies.  ( Historical/Cultural Heritage)
 
5) Students will learn about theatre, audience and ensemble etiquette. ( Response and Evaluation)
