Music

Hardy Elementary Music


Instruction in our elementary music programs is guided by the California Arts Standards - Music. Music is also aligned with San Diego Unified School District’s Standards-based Learning directive and students are assessed in music to ensure acquisition of the standards-aligned critical concepts based on the academic targets within the proficiency scales. The music standards are designed like a spiral, in which students increase and deepen their artistic literacy, creativity, and critical thinking skills at each level, and will emerge ready to engage in a lifetime of arts experiences and appreciation.

 


Instruction in every arts discipline and at every grade level utilize the same four artistic processes: 

  • Creating
  • Presenting/Performing/Producing
  • Responding
  • Connecting
