3. The curriculum for every student will include improvisation and composition.
4. Tasks that emphasize problem-solving and higher order thinking skills will be given to every student.
5. The music curriculum will maintain its integrity, and will emphasize relationships among the arts and between the arts and other disciplines.
6. The curriculum will utilize current technology to individualize and expand music learning.
7. Authentic assessment, based on specific objectives taken from the skills, knowledge, and understandings designated in the curriculum, will be utilized for all students.
