Harmonizing Instruments/Guitar Unit—Intermediate Level, Responding to Music with Applications for Songwriting

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

Students at the intermediate level are continuing their initial study in a chosen specialized art form; here we are addressing study in harmonizing instruments—specifically, the guitar. This development continues in artistic understanding and technical and expressive skills enabling the students to begin to independently and collaboratively create, perform, and respond at their given skill level. Their presentation and performance opportunities at school and in the community increase, and students actively participate in the learning and rehearsal of their instrument.
