If a public school offers a course of instruction in music
composition and theory in high school for pupils rated as advanced pursuant to
NAC 389.6105, such instruction must
be designed so that pupils meet the following standards of performance by the
completion of the course:
1. Creation
of new music by conceiving and developing music, alone and with others, which
must be determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Generate and conceptualize musical ideas
and work, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to demonstrate how sounds
and musical ideas represent extended sonic experiences or abstract
ideas.
(b) Organize and develop
musical ideas and work, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Assemble sounds or extended musical ideas
to create expressive sonic statements of selected extended experiences or
abstract ideas; and
(2) Explain the
development of sounds and musical ideas in drafts of music within a variety of
complex forms.
(c)
Refine, complete and present musical work, as demonstrated by the ability of
the pupil to:
(1) Apply criteria to evaluate
and refine technical and expressive aspects of a musical work through evolving
drafts of the work; and
(2) Share
music through notation, performance or technology to demonstrate how elements
were used to achieve expressive intent.
2. Performance of music that involves
interpretation and presentation of music, alone and with others, which must be
determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Select, analyze and interpret music for
presentation, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Select excerpts of a musical work or an
entire musical work that expresses a personal experience, mood, visual image or
storyline in a complex form;
(2)
Analyze and explain how elements of selected works and compositional techniques
related to style, function and context impact rehearsal or performance;
and
(3) Interpret works based on
the use of musical elements, explain how interpretive choices reflect the
intent of the creator of a work and support his or her rationale for such an
interpretation.
(b)
Develop and refine technique and performances, as demonstrated by the ability
of the pupil to:
(1) Create rehearsal plans
and identify:
(I) The historical or cultural
context of a work; and
(II)
Repetition and variation within a form or style;
(2) Apply criteria and feedback to identify
ways that a performance conveys the elements of design, style and historical or
cultural context; and
(3) Identify
and implement strategies for improving the technical and expressive aspects of
multiple contrasting works.
(c) Convey meaning through the presentation
of music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Explain and demonstrate how the elements
of music are used to convey intent; and
(2) Explain how compositions are appropriate
for a particular audience and context and how considerations relating to
audience and context will shape future compositions.
3. Understanding and evaluating,
alone and with others, how music conveys meaning, which must be determined by
evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a)
Perceive and analyze music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Apply criteria to select music, describe
the manner in which choices made by the composers of selected music can be used
by the pupil as models and justify his or her descriptions; and
(2) Analyze the elements of musical works and
describe how those elements foster growth in composers, performers and
listeners.
(b) Interpret
intent and meaning in music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to
justify and defend interpretations of work by citing compositional techniques,
style, genre and context of the work.
(c) Apply prescribed criteria to evaluate
music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Evaluate the effectiveness of the
technical and expressive aspects of selected music and performances in a manner
that demonstrates an understanding of music theory and compositional techniques
and procedures; and
(2) Describe
how he or she has applied critiques and feedback to the personal creative
process.
4.
Using external context when creating, evaluating and finding personal meaning
in music, which must be determined by evaluating the ability of the pupil to:
(a) Apply and relate knowledge and personal
experience to music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to describe
how interests, knowledge and skills relate to personal choices and intent when
creating, performing and responding to music.
(b) Analyze music in light of societal,
