Our Grades and Class Lessons Are Based Upon The TEKS |
Perception: description and analysis of musical sound and demonstration of musical artistry that enable students to develop their intellects; refine their emotions; understand the cultural and creative nature of musical artistry; and make connections among music, the other arts, technology, and other aspects of life
Creative expression/performance: creations and performances of a varied repertoire of music communicated through the expressive technical skills of music, critical thinking skills, and multiple forms of problem solving
Historical and cultural heritage: understanding the relationship of music to history, society, and culture by exploring the music of various time periods and diverse societies
Response/evaluation: response to and evaluation of musical performance based on criteria developed for making critical judgments and informed choices.

What are the students graded on? |
Acquiring musical skills such as steady beat, rhythmic awareness, pitch discrimination, and in-tune singing are necessary to successful performance in a musical ensemble. The development of these skills is a process wherein students must be disciplined, active listeners involved in structured practice in order to acquire these elements necessary to musical growth. |
