Kaleidoscope

Model lessons aligned to the 2014 National Music Standards by master music teachers from around the country and world are presented in this resource. Each of the 28 creative plans includes step-by-step procedures, reproducible manipulatives, assessment tools, traditional songs, and more! Royalties are donated to NAfME.

The 2014 National Music Standards have embedded the nine areas from the 1994 National Music Standards and are written to address the processes of creating, performing, responding, and connecting to music.
