[Click here] for a pacing guide accompanied by estimated work hours for all projects.
The pacing guide is designed for 10 weeks of active instruction. The materials have been laid out to ensure that the learning objectives are met while giving students ample work time.
We know that each class has a unique mix of students and is subject to a schedule particular to that school. Please think of the pacing guide as a recommended schedule for introducing concepts, working through projects, and engaging in listening parties. The pacing guide is not meant to be prescriptive!
You can refer to the work hours and put together your own pacing guide. Please remix our curriculum to suit yourself and your students!
The pacing guide is broken down into two sheets:
Music Appreciation Curriculum:
Each category of core curricular materials is outlined on the left. They include Key Concept Video, Activity, Work Time, Listening Party/Presentations, and Discussion/Reading.
Each Key Concept also includes its corresponding glossary and assessment.
The core curriculum is organized by weeks.
Min/Max/Target Work Hours:
Each student will take different amounts of time to complete each assignment. To account for this variation, we included minimum, maximum, and target amounts of time that students should be working on each project, assignment, and activity.
