The standards for High School Instrumental Music, Intermediate Level enable students to continue to develop musicianship and music literacy. Students identify and document steps of a creative process to develop original music. Music literacy skills are emphasized as students read, notate, and perform music. Students develop more advanced technical skills and improve ensemble skills as they collaborate with others to create and recreate music in ensemble settings. They respond to, describe, interpret, evaluate, perform, and sight-read music from a variety of musical styles, composers, cultural influences, and historical periods. Students compare and contrast career options in music and make connections between music and other fields of knowledge. Opportunities are provided for students to participate in local, district, regional, and state music events as appropriate to level, ability, and interest.
