PRESENTING FOR 2011-2012. . .

ARTS EDUCATION IDEAS is proud to announce our 14th year of publishing Music Memory curriculum materials. MUSIC MEMORY™ is a nationally-recognized curriculum designed to give students in grades 3–6 the life-long gift of love for music of the Western tradition through an in-depth study of 16 selections per year. Music that students will hear the rest of their lives is carefully chosen for appropriateness from five major historical periods— Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary. Prominent composers of orchestral, vocal, choral, keyboard and jazz pieces are featured. The curriculum is presented in an aural-visual format that enhances students’ success in recognizing the major themes and remembering the names and composers of the selections. Building on this initial learning, there are many opportunities for deepening students’ knowledge through extension activities. Music Memory is successfully taught across the United States. We invite you to enjoy Music Memory this coming year.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED . . .

ARTS EDUCATION IDEAS’ MUSIC MEMORY™ products are created in cooperation with the Texas University Interscholastic League. They contain everything needed to provide successful preparation for the UIL District meet, local contest, or to enhance the listening program in your school and/or district.
