Nine National Standards for Music Education
1. Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.
2. Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.
3. Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments.
4. Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines.
5. Reading and notating music.
6. Listening to, analyzing, and describing music.
7. Evaluating music and music performances.
8. Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts.
9. Understanding music in relation to history and culture.
Bloom's Taxonomy and the nine national standards for music education are tied together. Many of the standards fit right in to Bloom's Taxonomy. The ninth standard: understanding music in relation to history and culture is synthesis. Reading and Notating music goes with comprehension. Listening to, analyzing, and describing music ties in with analysis. These are just a few examples of how these standards and Bloom's taxonomy are tied together. The difference between the two is the standards go more in depth and give examples of the levels in Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's taxonomy is basically levels of knowledge, each level goes more in depth.
Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prompt and timely assignments! As you begin to write you lesson plans for integrating music into other content, take these two guidelines into consideration. Your lesson should contain as many higher levels of thinking in terms of content application and higher numbers of the National Standards of Music Education.
Also, use the terms from the previous blog to help guide you to a thorough and comprehensive lesson, meeting the needs of learners. Consider every assignment as a part of the total puzzle.
Keep up the good work!
