This document outlines the content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies for music students in the first quarter. It covers three historical periods of music: the Medieval period from 700-1400 AD, including Gregorian chants and troubadour music; the Renaissance period from 1400-1600 AD, including masses and madrigals; and the Baroque period from 1685-1750 AD, including concerto grosso and oratorio forms. Students will learn about the cultural backgrounds of these eras and perform songs, describe musical elements, and relate the music to history. They will also explore other arts from these time periods and improvise accompaniments.
