NAfME Teaching with Primary Sources Curriculum Units for the 2014 Music Standards

The teacher will guide the students using Inquiry Methods such as the LOC Observe, Reflect, Question model to explore and investigate questions that their students have about these recordings—their purpose, how they are constructed, the composer’s intent, and the recording’s historical and cultural significance, and then evaluate performances based on their explorations and investigations.
