Musicians at MS/HS, vocal or instrumental, experience different facets of expressing ideas and emotions musically:
Performing, through voice instruments, music from a variety of cultures, present and past, as ensemble members or, (optional) in a leading capacity, as ensemble directors/conductors
Responding to their own and other’s musical performances through informed critique and reflection, taking into account their own growing understanding of context, conventions and musical elements
Creating musical ideas through improvisation and/or manipulation of selected musical elements/free composition/arranging
Connecting different aspects of musical practice, listening and performance to their own experience and/or other areas of knowledge
