Welcome to the Westerly Music curriculum page! This draft version of the Core Arts Standards based curriculum will be posted for review, comment and critique.
Middle school and high school chorus materials have been added.
Regarding high school performance standard levels - "HS proficient" level indicates 1 year of high school instruction and "HS Accomplished" indicates 3-4 years of instruction. Therefore, it would be reasonable to think that grades 9 and maybe 10 would be help to the proficient standard, while grades 11-12 would be held to accomplaished performance standards. As with all of the standards, there is not a tremendous difference between these two (literally 1-2 words in some cases) but worthy of note....

For emerging ensembles, there seems to be two model cornerstone assessments in the realm of creating. One involves writing an 8-16 measure composition based on a melody and the other is more focused on improving an improvisation based on a melody.
