Standards-Based Music Education
Teachers who provide their students with a standards-based music education facilitate opportunities for every student to develop skill and knowledge related to creating original music, performing their own and others’ music, responding to music, and connecting in, around, and through music. While MusicCPR is framed through these four artistic processes as conceptualized in National Standards for Arts Education, most states have comparable policy documents that outline what should be part of students’ P-12 music education experiences. MusicCPR is intended to bridge the gap between these policies and common practice by providing a free, research-based resource for any music teacher who wishes to provide their students opportunities to create, perform, respond, and connect through activities grounded in large ensemble repertoire.
