MUSIC
(Grade 1 to Grade 10)
13 September 2013
Both the Music and the Arts curricula focus on the learner as recipient of the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for artistic
expression and cultural literacy. The design of the curricula is student-centered, based on spiral progression of processes, concepts and
skills and grounded in performance-based learning. Thus, the learner is empowered, through active involvement and participation, to effectively
correlate music and art to the development of his/her own cultural identity and the expansion of his/her vision of the world.
As Music and Arts are performance-based disciplines, effective learning occurs through active experience, participation, and performance,
creative expression, aesthetic valuation, critical response, and interpretation. The skills that are developed include reading/analyzing,
listening/observing, performing, (singing, using musical instruments, movement, acting, and playing, using different art materials, techniques and
processes, responding, composing, and creating. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2)
The philosophical foundations upon which standards and competencies are based include: A Process of Education by Jerome Bruner,
Performance-Based Learning by Cleve Miller, Aesthetic Education by Bennett Reimer, Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, A Structure
for Music Education by Ronald Thomas, Gongs and Bamboo by Jose Maceda, Compendium on the Humanities: Musical Arts produced by the
National Research Council of the Philippines, Cultural Dictionary for Filipinos by Thelma Kintanar and Associates, Creative and Mental Growth by
Viktor Lowenfeld and W. Lambert Brittain, Discipline-Based Art Education by Elliot Eisner, Encyclopedia of Philippine Arts and Tuklas Sining, both
produced by the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Music is both an aural and a temporal art. All its elements, when interwoven in the highest artistic order, are likened into a ― tapestry
moving in time. The global weavings of this ― tapestry in historical and cultural contexts are diverse—having spurred a continued metamorphosis
to include a full range of purposes, functions, and identities, from the utilitarian to aesthetic.
However, the basic nature of music does not change. In his book A Structure for Music Education, Ronald Thomas articulates that the
nature of music is expressive, ongoing, and creative. Through a language and medium of its own, music conveys ideas and feelings in a way that
addresses the human spirit, and has great value in its communicative process. Music, being responsive in interpreting contemporary times, is a
continuing art. Aaron Copland describes this characteristic as a ―continuous state of becoming. Like the other arts, music is a creative avenue
for man’s individual quest for self- expression and
fulfillment.
On these basic characteristics are founded the rationale of music study. A keen sensitivity to environmental and musical sounds
needs to be developed. The student must learn to ―hear, ―speak, and ―think in the medium of music. Simultaneously, growth and development in
the skills that enable the application of the learner’s knowledge should be encouraged, through active involvement in the various musical processes.
Drawing from the development of music pedagogy through the years, the K-10 Music Curriculum embodies the best practices
advocated by the SPIRAL, MULTI-CULTURAL, and INTEGRATIVE approaches in music education, as well as current philosophical thought
about contemporary general education. We envision that Music in the K-10 Program will effectively nurture and refine the learner’s artistic
expression and cultural literacy, and celebrate his/her national heritage, while it instills, within every individual Filipino learner, pride in his/her own
cultural identity.
The Arts has been present since the beginning of civilization as it is an essential means for man to live and communicate with others. It has
been used to enhance man’s life and surroundings, to express his thoughts, dreams, and spiritual beliefs, and to share his own and his
community’s aspirations, celebrations, and events. Arts records, reflects, and rearranges man’s life and existence.
The Arts is a visualization of a people’s history and uniqueness, a reflection of their creativity and accomplishments, and a visible expression
of their distinct way of thinking, communicating, reasoning, and worshiping. It is expressed in a unique symbol system that is visual, kinetic and
tactile.
Howard Gardner, an educator and psychologist, affirms that the arts develop the child’s “SPATIAL, INTRAPERSONAL, LINGUISTIC AND
KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCES” for the Arts develop a distinct way of seeing, thinking, communicating, and creating in a person.
Furthermore, Art develops and increases a person’s ability to apply creative and new solutions, for new problems in our world. Schools,
therefore, need to develop the multiple intelligences of a student through the arts. The K-12 Arts Curriculum seeks to address these needs of our
students for the 21st Century.
The 21st Century is a different world: it is highly visual, with a proliferation of images seen not only in static media like magazines, books,
paintings and posters. Now images are kinetic and accessible in various media like television, outdoor advertisements, movies, cell phones, and
new technologies like iPads, iPods, DVD players, personal computers, and tablets. Artists create, upload and share via the Internet, images,
sounds, texts, films, videos, pictures, artworks and designs. These are readily available and interactive, involving the viewer to react, comment and
utilize these visuals through the Internet. Teaching Art to students is one way for them to process and interpret the barrage of images and sounds, in a
critical and intelligent manner.
The focus of the K-12 Art curriculum is PHILIPPINE ART, CULTURE and HERITAGE, appreciating the diversity of our local artists, our arts,
crafts, and indigenous materials to strengthen the student’s identity of being Filipino, before he/she is introduced to the art of other countries. The
modules guide educators and provide our students with art experiences, concepts, and processes that are presented in a SPIRAL PROGRESSION
of difficulty and depth from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
The approach is CHILD-CENTERED and HANDS-ON in creating art using locally available materials. It develops the student’s imagination
and individual expression, and his/her CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS through inquiry into the aesthetic qualities of his work, the work of others
and of artists from the Philippines and other parts of the world. It culminates in connecting art to other subject areas and provides exposure and
apprenticeship to professionals in various art-related fields so the student can discover and consider the different career opportunities in the arts.
