    The document summarizes an article that is critical of using "the elements of music" as the primary framework for teaching music in schools. It argues that this approach makes music too academic and formulaic, promotes conformity in the classroom, and does not reflect how people naturally think about and experience music. However, the document disagrees with the article's claim that the elements are only applicable to Western art music, believing they can describe all music genres as music universally uses elements like rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, and dynamics.

    Repositioning the elements: How


    students talk about music. Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music

    Countryman12_3.pdfRose, L. S., &
    Three Stars and a Wish!
    Star #1: The elements of music provide educators with a means of
    making music academic and formulaic like math or science. This
    method of teaching music seems to streamline how you would teach
    music with how you would teach an important subject.
    Star #2: The elements of music is an out-dated system, and is no
    longer how people think about music
    Star #3: Teaching the elements of music forces conformity in the
    classroom, and dictate how students are supposed to experience
    music (pg. 7).
    Wish: The article states that the elements of music, is a system
    tailored to Western Art Music. I disagree with this statement, and
    wonder why they would use this argument to devalue teaching the
    elements of music. What I would argue, is that the elements of music
    are universal because any genre of music will have rhythm, a melody
    and possibly some harmony, and all instruments and voices have
    varying timbres and can produce dynamics.
