SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. TheoryandTerminology
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the ele- ments of music, particularly through practical application and aural recognition, and use appropriate terminology related to these elements (e.g., describe scales and scale patterns, and perform them with appropriate dynamic con- trasts and articulation and varied rhythms; describe the main characteristics of a variety of styles of music with reference to their use of elements, and use accompaniment software programs to demon- strate them; identify the elements of music in a range of aural samples; use correct terminology to describe the elements of music in a selection they are preparing for performance; identify and describe various textures in music [monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic])
C1.2 demonstrate an understanding of, and use proper terminology when referring to, funda- mental concepts associated with notation
(e.g., identify notes of the grand staff; identify
and describe the meaning of signs and symbols; notate scale patterns; identify and demonstrate their understanding of varied tempo and expressive markings in the music in their repertoire; describe the cycle of fifths; transpose a vocal line from another range into their voice range)
C1.3 reproduce or identify accurately, from nota- tion and/or listening, simple melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic examples (e.g., accurately play or
sing notated rhythm patterns at sight; identify simple sound layering and voicings in aural samples; identify given intervals in a major scale from aural samples, and notate the intervals; identify major or minor tonality in examples and/or repertoire)
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of the origins and development of some musical forms (e.g., identify composers within a particular genre and situate them on a timeline; describe the development of music associated with rituals and ceremonies in various cultures)
Teacher prompt: “Why is it important to have an understanding of music history and cultural context when performing a new piece of repertoire?”
C2.2 identify and describe shared and unique characteristics of types of music from around the world, including Aboriginal music (e.g., the use of instruments in Aboriginal song; the ways digital sound is used in contemporary music; the use of dissonance in choral music from various cultures)
Teacher prompts: “What was unique about Mozart’s operatic works?” “What are some ways in which a film score composer can engage a movie audience?”
