Welcome to 7th Grade Music. The music curriculum for 7th grade is entitled “Everyday Music”. We will focus our time throughout the year discussing, researching, and debating how music effects our culture, and how our culture is reflected in the ever evolving world of music. Unlike our 6th grade curriculum, this year much of our work will be focused on larger projects, take home assignments, and group work. It may seem easier than studying for tests and quizzes, however the responsibility for your success falls on your shoulders more than ever before.
This year we will focus on two major topics during each trimester. Each topic will consist of graded classwork, homework assignments, and a culminating project or presentation. Here are some of the things we will be covering:
FIRST TRIMESTER
The Art of the Educated Review
The Music of Advertisements
SECOND TRIMESTER
Music and Technology: Evolution
African American Cultural Music
THIRD TRIMESTER
Music of the Depression
Hearing Safety
