1) Did your elementary school music experience include opportunities to address each standard?
ReplyDeleteNo, my elementary school did not include opportunities to address each standard.
2) Which standards were not covered in your elementary program?
The standards that were not covered in my elementary program were responding, and connecting.
3) Which standards were emphasized?
The standards that were emphasized were creating and performing.
1) Why people might feel alienated toward the arts:
ReplyDeleteThere is "no right answer" in art, which can be relaxing and freeing for many, but at the same time I think there can be a greater tendency to compare yourself to others, and I know at least I did that and always felt as though others were better/more talented in art-related things, and that definitely discouraged me from participating in some art or music activities. I think a lot of alienation for people has to do with their embarrassment.
2)Did my elementary school include opportunities to address the core music standards?
My school kind of addressed the music standards - we were never specifically told what the standards were or anything, but I had music class 2 times a week and sometimes had art 1 time a week. In art we would create and in music we put on musicals and so we performed and responded.
3) Which standards were not covered?
All of the standards were covered in some way at some point in time, but I would say we didn't cover creating and responding as much.
4) Which standards were emphasized?
The performance standard was definitely emphasized the most.

ReplyDelete1. I don't think we ever followed standards. I think our teacher did what she thought was important.
ReplyDelete2. We never did any creating or connecting in our class.
3. I think the main focus was performing in music class.
1.) My school did follow the standards, though creating was emphasized less than performing and responding.
ReplyDelete2.)The standard for creating was significantly less emphasized in our class.
3.) The main focus of the class was performing, and it came in many different forms. There was also a lot of responding as well.
1) My elementary school addressed the standards of performing, creating, and historical contexts.
ReplyDelete2) responding was less emphasized.
3) performing and creating were more emphasized.
1)Although my music education experience was not at all standard-focused, I would say all the standards were addressed.
ReplyDelete2) If anything,creating was least emphasized.
3) Performing and Responding were emphasized.
1.) My elementary school did not give us opportunities to address each standard.
ReplyDelete2.) Connecting was something that was never emphasized.
3.) The standards that were the most emphasized were creating and responding.
1.) Yes, my elementary school music experiences included opportunities to address each standard. For example, in elementary school we got the opportunity to play an instrument, which was the recorder. We learned how to read music. Also, we listened to and sang a variety of music from different genres, historical periods, and cultures.
ReplyDelete2.) The standards in my elementary school were pretty much covered but connecting could have been emphasized a little more.
3.) The standards I remember that were emphasized the most were reading music, playing and/or performing on an instrument such as the recorder, analyzing music, and listening to and/or singing a variety of music.
1.) I believe my elementary school music program did a good job of addressing most of these standards.
ReplyDelete2.) I believe every standard was covered in some way throughout elementary school. Connecting wasn't necessarily emphasized because we were still so young, but as we got older we worked on connecting more.
3.) I would say that performing and creating were both emphasized the most. Especially as we got older, we were really able to be creative in music class and perform our own pieces, or put our own creative touch on a piece.
1. My elementary school incorporated all of the standards.
ReplyDelete2. Responding was not very emphasized.
3. Preforming and creating were highly emphasized.
