School District Philosophical Foundations
Teachers in the School District of the City of St. Charles share in and ascribe to a philosophy that places children at the heart of the
educational process. We feel that it is our professional responsibility to strive to be our best at all times and to maximize our efforts
by ensuring that the following factors are present in our classrooms and our schools.
1. Learning is developed within the personal, physical, social, and intellectual contexts of the learner.
2. A strong educational program should provide developmental continuity.
3. The successful learner is motivated, strategic, knowledgeable, and interactive.
4. Children learn best when they have real purposes and can make connections to real life.
5. Effective learning is a combination of student exploration and teacher and mentor modeling.
6. Assessment is an ongoing and multidimensional process that is an integral part of instruction.
7. Making reading and writing connections across multiple sources and curricula facilitates meaning.
8. Literacy for the future means literacy in multiple technologies.
9. Education must respond to society’s diverse population and serve all children.
10. Interactions among students, teachers, parents, and community form the network that supports learning.
5
9-12 Vocal Music Philosophy
Children sing (music), play (drama), and draw (art); therefore, the fine arts are a fundamental component of a well-balanced
education. Music provides a variety of sensory, emotional, intellectual, and social experiences beneficial to all learners. Listening,
creating, reading, collaborating, performing, and analyzing are all essential skills for every member of society.
Every child should receive a balanced, comprehensive, sequential, and rigorous program of musical instruction.

9-12 Vocal Music Rationale
In preparation for a life long appreciation of and participation in music, the high school students will develop musical concepts and
skills that will enable the student to become a better musician and to make decisions about music. Building on the musical
foundation that deals with elements such as rhythm, melody, harmony, dynamic, texture, tonality, and form, musical experiences
will develop sequentially following sound education practices.
Vocal skills should be a satisfying activity both mentally and physically. While performance is an important part of the choral
program, rehearsals will include the study of music literature being performed, and should provide the opportunity for students at
various levels of musical ability to participate in both the learning and performing experience.
Participation in the high school choral program should allow the student to develop a positive attitude toward music, to make value
judgements about the many styles of music in today’s society and to feel comfortable using music as a vehicle of personal expression
in both performance and recreation.

MUSIC GRADE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS
The Music Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) represent content that Missouri students are expected to know at each grade level. The GLEs are not a curriculum. They are, however,
the learner outcomes that should be assessed at the local level to appraise student achievement. The GLEs should not be taught in isolation. Rather, they should be bundled together
where possible into well-planned, sequential, and targeted lessons to accomplish district objectives to meet the Show-Me Standards.
Alignment to the Missouri Show-Me Content standards is found in the row titled “State Standards.” The row titled “National Standards” refers to the nine standards from MENC: The
National Association for Music Education.
The following coding system should be used to reference the Music GLEs:
STRANDS:
PP = Product/Performance
EP = Elements and Principles of Music
AP = Artistic Perceptions
IC = Interdisciplinary Connections
HC = Historic and Cultural Contexts
BIG IDEAS:
Use the numeral preceding the Big Idea
CONCEPTS:
Use the capital letter designation
EX: The GLE “identify standard pitch notation in the treble clef” can be found in the Elements of Music strand (EP), under the first Big Idea – Develop and apply the knowledge and
skills to read and notate music (1), in the concept Melodic Notation (A), in grade 4. Therefore, the code for that particular GLE is: EP1A4. Generally avoid the use of periods or
dashes in the coding.
