Abstract Details

2003, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Miami University, School of Fine Arts - Music Performance.
Music is a vital part of every person’s overall education. It is an excellent tool for the development of creativity, imagination, expression, sensitivity, and self-understanding. Using multiple learning styles, including aural, visual, and kinesthetic learning, music creates the opportunity for students to experience visible success and achievement. Music exists in a wide variety of styles and forms, from simple American children’s songs or folk songs from other countries to jazz, rock, or classical symphonies. The ability to create and appreciate all music types enriches students by giving them musical tools and ideas they can use to interpret and interact with life. Indeed, every child has a right to a musical education. Music also reinforces key concepts that are applied in other disciplines throughout everyday life, including cognitive skills, discipline, focus, cooperation, and teamwork. Even more, music reflects history and culture in a unique perspective. The Jefferson Academy of Music has based this curriculum on the National Standards for Arts Education developed by the Consortium of National Arts Education Associations in 1994. The lesson plans included are samples, and may be revised as the instructor sees fit, especially after they are tried in an actual classroom setting.
