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

This Unit is designed for students at the Advanced Level as described by the National Music Standards. It assumes that the student has had multiple years of instruction on the instrument and has attained the appropriate skill level to be successful. (See “Prerequisite Skills” for further explanation.) If the teacher has students at multiple proficiency levels within the class, he/she is encouraged to provide different expectations for individuals.
