Music
Music for 1974-75 include instrumental
(band and orchesb'a),. choral music, and musical arts (general
music) in 7 and 8, with variations from school to schooL
Musical arts classes win be discontinued in some schools during
1975-76; the course win become a fine arts offering of music/art
or unified arts in some schools. The ninth program focuses
on the performing choir, band, and orchestra. Plans call for
choirs and bands in schools where sufficient interest
and personnel justify.
In grade 7, instrumental music instruction (winds,
and percussions ) emphasizes the technical aspects of playing on
instruments and provides opportunities for students to perform
in groups of varying sizes. In grades 8 and 9, the capable student
continues his instrumental music with performing organizations,
band or orchestra. Choral classes at each grade level
are generally devoted to singing activities and selected aspects
of the general music program; the performing choir is the focus
in the ninth
Musical art classes in the seventh grade are oriented toward
building an understanding of and appreciation for good music
and a comparison of similarities of modern and earlier music.
Listening and singing are major activities. Ukuleles, autoharps,
tone bells, and the like are used for accompaniment. In
the eighth grade the musical arts course adds instruction in
tar, piano, and melody instrum.ents. The electronic nlusic course
re~ates to the use of the tape recorder.
Activities in the limited number of music classes visited
seem.ed well organized and appropriate. There was evidence of
pressure for groups in some but perhaps
this is not unusual. Facilities vary from those and
equipped especially for music instruction to those apparently
built for use. There seemed to be no problem
of record players and other basic equipment.
It is regrettable that some students are denied the opportu-to
participate in music due to schedule conflicts. A
reorganized fine and practical arts program might be a solution.
