Current through February 27, 2024
If a public school offers a course of instruction in music technology 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 generate melodic,
rhythmic and harmonic ideas for composition or improvisation using digital
tools, resources and systems.
(b)
Organize and develop musical ideas and work, as demonstrated by the ability of
the pupil to select and organize multiple melodic, rhythmic and harmonic ideas
to develop into a larger work that exhibits unity, variety, complexity and
coherence using digital and analog tools, resources and systems.
(c) Refine, complete and present musical
work, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Develop and implement strategies and
apply criteria to improve and refine the technical and expressive aspects of
draft compositions and improvisations; and
(2) Share a portfolio of musical works
created by the pupil in a manner that demonstrates musical and technological
craftsmanship and the use of digital and analog tools, resources and systems
for the creation and organization of musical ideas.
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) Develop and apply criteria to select
programs to perform based on the interest, structural and theoretical
characteristics, expressive characteristics and the technical and technological
skill of the pupil in using digital tools, resources and systems;
(2) Evaluate and critique how context,
theoretical and structural aspects of music and digital tools inform prepared
and improvised performances of a repertoire of music; and
(3) Demonstrate how understanding the style,
genre, context and use of digital tools influences prepared and improvised
performances of a repertoire of music and the ability of the performer to
connect with the audience.
(b) Develop and refine technique and
performances, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to apply criteria and
feedback to develop and implement strategies to improve technical and
expressive aspects of prepared and improvised performances of a repertoire of
music.
(c) Convey meaning through
the presentation of music, as demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to:
(1) Integrate digital and analog tools to
demonstrate technical accuracy and expressive qualities in prepared and
improvised performances of music representing diverse cultures, styles and
genres; and
(2) Demonstrate the
ability to connect with members of the audience before prepared or improvised
performances and respond to members of the audience during such
performances.
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) Compare musical works based on
characteristics of the music, understanding of digital and electronic aspects
of the music and the purpose and context of the music; and
(2) Analyze how the structure, technical
aspects and context of music informs interest in and the response to the music
and justify his or her analysis.
(b) Interpret intent and meaning in music, as
demonstrated by the ability of the pupil to connect the influences of music,
elements of music, digital and electronic features of music, context and
purpose of music and the relationship between music and other art forms to the
expressive intent of musical works and cite research to support the connections
he or she has drawn.
(c) Apply
prescribed criteria to evaluate music, as demonstrated by the ability of the
pupil to evaluate music using criteria based on analysis, interpretation,
artistic intent, digital, electronic and analog features and musical qualities
and justify his or her evaluation.
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 demonstrate how interests, knowledge and skills
relate to personal choices and intent when creating, performing and responding
to music.
