While completing a master's degree at BYU I developed what I think is a
new approach to music literacy education. The goal was to design an
approach to music literacy that met a variety of demands.
- No
Child Left Behind requires research based best practices in literacy.
- NSSE
and regional Accreditation requires student performance goals - often
referred to as "Desired Results for Student Learning" or "Desired
Learning Outcomes." (DRSLs and DLOs)
- Music
Education requires actual learning in music, as opposed to rehearsal
periods devoted to six traits writing.
- Current
research suggests that performing music is a "Multiple Intelligence"
domain.
Meeting
those goals led to the creation of an instructional framework as well
as some worthwhile warm up materials, some of which are available for
free on this web site. A set of commonly used chorales in 12
major keys will be available for sale as time permits. The
framework will be available on this site as time allows, but for now
the whole project document is available for download on the ERIC
database by copying and pasting the address below
