Orchestra IV Curriculum Framework
Orchestra I-IV are two-semester courses designed for traditional and emerging ensembles performing on orchestral stringed instruments. Orchestra I-IV students will demonstrate an ability to apply music fundamentals and instrumental techniques in the production, performance, analysis, and critique of instrumental music performance. Students are expected to apply sight-reading skills, improvisational skills, and performance techniques in solo, small group, and large group settings. Orchestra I-IV students will critique music performances and deeply reflect upon the impact of instrumental music on society as well as societal influences on instrumental music. Students will perform regularly in a variety of settings and will demonstrate successful completion of student learning expectations. Orchestra I, Orchestra II, Orchestra III, or Orchestra IV will satisfy the one-half credit fine arts requirement for graduation. Arkansas Department of Education approval is not required for Orchestra I, Orchestra II, Orchestra III, and Orchestra IV.
