I created an informational bulletin board featuring the National Standards for Music Education. I used a gumball theme complete with machine and giant gumballs for each standard.

Text within each large gumball:

  • Understand music as it relates to history
  • Improvise melodies, variations and accompaniments
  • Play on instruments, alone and with others, many different kinds of songs
  • Read and notate music
  • Sing alone and with others, many different kinds of songs
  • Evaluate music and music performance
  • Make connections between music, other arts, and other subjects
  • Compose and arrange music in a variety of ways
  • Listen, analyze, and describe music
