The Vocal and General Music Program of Instruction provides all students with appropriate resources and experiences to develop positive attitudes and sensitivities toward music. Through the implementation of sequential musical skills and concepts, students develop an understanding of the intrinsic value of music and its relationship to diverse cultures, traditions, values and beliefs. The program is also designed to foster enjoyment and appreciation of music beyond the limits of classroom instruction. This course is designed to facilitate alternate academic learning outcomes appropriate to the instructional needs of the student, as documented in the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This course is linked to the general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified materials.
