Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 2 - TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY › Chapter 117 - TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS FOR FINE ARTS › Subchapter C - HIGH SCHOOL › Section 117.313 - Music, Level IV (One Credit), Adopted 2013

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) General requirements. Students may
				  fulfill fine arts and elective requirements for graduation by successfully
				  completing one or more of the following music courses: Band IV, Choir IV,
				  Orchestra IV, Jazz Ensemble IV, Jazz Improvisation IV, Instrumental Ensemble
				  IV, Vocal Ensemble IV, World Music Ensemble IV, Applied Music IV, Mariachi IV,
				  Piano IV, Guitar IV, Harp IV, International Baccalaureate (IB) Music Standard
				  Level (SL), or IB Music Higher Level (HL) (one credit per course). The
				  prerequisite for all Music, Level IV courses is one credit of Music, Level III
				  in the corresponding discipline.
(b) Introduction.
(1) The fine arts incorporate the study of
				  dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts to offer unique experiences and
				  empower students to explore realities, relationships, and ideas. These
				  disciplines engage and motivate all students through active learning, critical
				  thinking, and innovative problem solving. The fine arts develop cognitive
				  functioning and increase student academic achievement, higher-order thinking,
				  communication, and collaboration skills, making the fine arts applicable to
				  college readiness, career opportunities, workplace environments, social skills,
				  and everyday life. Students develop aesthetic and cultural awareness through
				  exploration, leading to creative expression. Creativity, encouraged through the
				  study of the fine arts, is essential to nurture and develop the whole
				  child.
(2) Four basic
				  strands--foundations: music literacy; creative expression; historical and
				  cultural relevance; and critical evaluation and response--provide broad,
				  unifying structures for organizing the knowledge and skills students are
				  expected to acquire. The foundation of music literacy is fostered through
				  reading, writing, reproducing, and creating music, thus developing a student's
				  intellect. Through creative expression, students apply their music literacy and
				  the critical-thinking skills of music to sing, play, read, write, and/or move.
				  By experiencing musical periods and styles, students will understand the
				  relevance of music to history, culture, and the world, including the
				  relationship of music to other academic disciplines and the vocational
				  possibilities offered. Through critical listening, students analyze, evaluate,
				  and respond to music, developing criteria for making critical judgments and
				  informed choices.
(3) Statements
				  that contain the word "including" reference content that must be mastered,
				  while those containing the phrase "such as" are intended as possible
				  illustrative examples.

				  technology operations and concepts.
(2) Through the study of the six strands in
				  technology applications, students use creative thinking and innovative
				  processes to construct knowledge and develop products. Students communicate and
				  collaborate both locally and globally to reinforce and promote learning.
				  Research and information fluency includes the acquisition and evaluation of
				  digital content. Students develop critical-thinking, problem-solving, and
				  decision-making skills by collecting, analyzing, and reporting digital
				  information. Students practice digital citizenship by behaving responsibly
				  while using technology tools and resources. Through the study of technology
				  operations and concepts, students learn technology related terms, concepts, and

				  abilities. Students integrate skills from academic subjects, information
				  technology, and interpersonal communication to make informed decisions. This

				  developing a college and career readiness flight plan. Students use aptitude
				  and interest inventory assessments, software, or other tools available to
				  explore college and career areas of personal interest. Students use this
				  information to explore a variety of career paths, especially those in demand,
				  and begin mapping their anticipated secondary coursework and potential
				  postsecondary experiences that are in alignment with their goals.
(4) The goal of this course is to help
				  students build career awareness and engage in deep exploration and study of the
				  Texas CTE career clusters to create a foundation for success in high school,
				  possible postsecondary studies, and careers. Students research labor market
				  information, learn job-seeking skills, and create documents required for
				  employment.

				  encouraged to explore and participate in extended learning experiences such as
				  career and technical student organizations and other leadership or
				  extracurricular organizations.
