TEKS for Music,
Kindergarten
§117.3. Music, Kindergarten.
(a) Introduction.
(1) Four basic strands--perception,
creative expression/performance, historical and cultural heritage,
and critical evaluation--provide broad, unifying structures
for organizing the knowledge and skills students are expected
to acquire. In music, students develop their intellect and
refine their emotions, understanding the cultural and creative
nature of musical artistry and making connections among music,
the other arts, technology, and other aspects of social life.
Through creative performance, students apply the expressive
technical skills of music and critical- thinking skills to
evaluate multiple forms of problem solving.
(2) By reflecting on musical
periods and styles, students understand music's role in history
and are able to participate successfully in a diverse society.
Students analyze and evaluate music, developing criteria for
making critical judgments and informed choices.
