MUSIC

I. PHILOSOPHY

A. Individual Program
It is our philosophy that each child has musical potential which should be developed. It is the school's responsibility
to provide musical experiences for each child, relative to his musical abilities and possibilities.
The human need for aesthetic sensitivity should be dealt with through heightened perception and responsiveness to
music as well as to the other arts. Aesthetic perceptivity can in large be taught, therefore learned. A feelingful response to
music is an individual concern. Thus, perception of the musical content of the songs children sing, pieces children play,
and elections to which children listen becomes the focal point of aesthetic development in music.
Music should not be confined to a music classroom only. It should be a part of the whole school, the assembly,
homerooms, academic classrooms, and the community. Music belongs to everyone, and its power to nourish the spirit
should be made available for all.

B. Course Purposes and Objectives
1. Develop creative and expressive natures.
2. Find satisfaction and meaning in musical experience.
3. Develop skills to express emotions through music.
4. Exercise music judgments and experience musical sensitivity.
5. Increase understanding of the world, its cultures (with emphasis on his own) through a comprehension of the
expressive elements of music and their interaction with elements of society.
6. Be instrumental in the well-rounded personal development of the individual.
7. Continue growth in aural recognition and discrimination of musical relationships: Melody and tone, rhythm
structure, and timbre.
8. Be aware of the professional and avocational possibilities of music in adult life.
9. Use logically and expressively musical notation and symbols in playing, singing and listening.

C. Course Content
1. GENERAL MUSIC, 9 ? Shall introduce the elementary concepts of music, i. E. note reading, singing easy songs,
and listening to good recorded music, and include the following;

materials from all forms of musical compositions.
b. A study of basic theory, notations, conducting, simple creative writing and general musicianship.

and thereby be granted the most time. Interval training in eye-ear relationships will receive emphasis.

2. CHORAL MUSIC, 9-12

and indicating desire and ability to perform and react to more advanced choral literature. This will not be a

continuation of training of the immature voice, and the developing of sound, basic, musicianship.

available during construction for routine inspections. Below are particular areas that should be checked prior to accepting
final plans:

1. Provision for meeting all State safety regulations.

2. Provision for meeting local and state fire regulations, including firestops and fire-resistant material when possible.

3. Provision of adequate parking, minimizing traffic hazards.

4. Provision for hard-surfacing specified areas, such as physical education, band, ROTC, vehicle parking.

5. Provision for landscaping entree campus complex.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

I. PHILOSOPHY

A. Individual Program

We believe that it is the responsibility of the physical Education Department to provide a flexible, individualized
program that will make the maximum contribution to the optimum development of its students. Due to rapid
developments in science and technology, our civilization is confronted with the great possibility of becoming physically
weak or "soft". It is becoming increasingly easier each year for youth to avoid participation in the more vigorous forms
of physical activity. We believe such activity is essential to proper growth, development and maintenance of strength and
endurance vital to abundant, productive living. Our schools must maintain a physical education program motivating
youth to participate, through interest in high muscle activities, during many out-of-school hours. This interest may be
developed and maintained best through instruction in the correct fundamental skills and caring for their needs. The
student, who fails to find some activity from which he receives satisfactions, or fails to fulfill his needs, will lose interest
and become dissatisfied with physical education.

B. Course Purposes and Objectives
1. Provide activities to meet the physical needs of each student.
2. Provide activities that help meet social needs.
3. Develop fundamental motor skills which contribute to good mechanics and proper postural habits.
4. Guide all pupils in constructive and appropriate uses of leisure time.
5. Foster better citizenship by requiring obedience to rules which reflect the laws of society.
6. Provide opportunity for students to experience a sense of achievement, fun, and enjoyment.
7. Assist individuals in recognizing their potentialities and accepting their limitations with wholesome attitudes.

C. Course Content
Activities shall develop as varying levels of basic skills, taking the form of the following: basketball, touch football,
soccer, softball, speedball, volleyball, hockey, gatorball, relays, kickball, cross country, archery, badminton, golf,
handball, bowling, riflery, swimming, tennis, track and field, deck tennis, croquet, angling (casting, etc.), table tennis,
tetherball, horseshoes, paddle tennis, rhythms (folk, modern, social, and square), gymnastics (apparatus, conditioning
exercise, pyramids, stunts, and tumbling).
