dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to develop a music curriculum for band from grade six to grade twelve for School District No. 63 that would encompass the music elements of the general music class and incorporate them into the band curriculum. With the band curriculum as a guide, it was planned for teachers in the band class to teach simultaneously the practical aspects of performance along with the elements of music. The goal of the curriculum is to teach band students to understand the form, harmony, timbre, and other elements of music through the music they perform. The study of literature, related research and music curricula was undertaken to examine the trends and changes in music education. The proposed curriculum takes into account the rationale of music projects such as the "Manhattanville Music Curriculum Program" and the "Contemporary Music Project". The curriculum could be used by school districts and band teachers where a six- year sequential band program is required. It may not be suitable where the band program has less than six years of study. The content to be covered in the curriculum is based on two to three hours of classes per week, so that the curriculum could be taught in less time if the hours of instruction were increased. The curriculum could also be used as a guide for others who are contemplating designing a band curriculum that would include the teaching of comprehensive musicianship.en_US
