K to 12 Curriculum Guide
November 2012
Both the Music and the Arts curricula focus on the learner as recipient of the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for artistic expression and cultural literacy. The design of the curricula is student-centered, based on spiral progression of processes, concepts and skills and grounded in performance-based learning. Thus, the learner is empowered, through active involvement and participation, to effectively correlate music and art to the development of his/her own cultural identity and the expansion of his/her vision of the world.
As Music and Arts are performance-based disciplines, effective learning occurs through active experience, participation, and performance, creative expression, aesthetic valuation, critical response, and interpretation. The skills that are developed include reading/analyzing, listening/observing, performing, (singing, using musical
instruments, movement, acting, and playing, using different art materials, techniques and processes, responding, composing, and creating. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2)
The philosophical foundations upon which standards and competencies are based include: A Process of Education by Jerome Bruner, PerformanceBased Learning by Cleve Miller, Aesthetic Education by Bennett Reimer, Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, A Structure for Music Education by Ronald Thomas, Gongs and Bamboo by Jose Maceda, Compendium on the Humanities: Musical Arts produced by the National Research Council of the Philippines, Cultural Dictionary for Filipinos by Thelma Kintanar and Associates, Creative and Mental Growth by Viktor Lowenfeld and W. Lambert Brittain, Discipline-Based Art Education by Elliot Eisner, Encyclopedia of Philippine Arts and Tuklas Sining, both produced by the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

However, the basic nature of music does not change. is expressive, ongoing, and creative.
Through a language and medium of its own, music conveys ideas and feelings in a way that addresses the human spirit, Music, being responsive in interpreting contemporary times, is a continuing art. Aaron Copland describes Like the other arts, music is a creative avenue for mans individual quest for self- expression and
On these basic characteristics are founded the rationale of music study. A keen sensitivity to environmental and musical soun ds needs to be developed. The student must learn to hear, speak, and think in the medium of music. Simultaneously, growth and development in the skills that enable the application of the learners
knowledge should be encouraged, through active involvement in the various musical processes. Drawing from the development of music pedagogy through the years, the K-10 Music Curriculum embodies the best practices advocated by the SPIRAL, MULTICULTURAL, and INTEGRATIVE approaches in music education, as well as current philosophical thought about contemporary general education. We envision that Music in the K-10 Program will effectively nurture and refine the learners artistic expression and cultural literacy, and celebrate his/her national heritage, while it instills, within every individual Filipino learner, pride in his/her own cultural identity.
