Description

Navigating Music Interpretation through Appreciation is a comprehensive curriculum guide for secondary general music education focused on the studies of musicology, music philosophy, and music theory of music across cultures worldwide and in pop culture. Students learn to compose, perform, analyze, and appreciate music through different perspectives and inclusive discussions focusing on musical identity. This curriculum allows educators to approach teaching through an engaging, collaborative, and critical lens. Secondary general music education is integral to music education, often overlooked by ensemble performance.
