K TO 12 MUSIC AND ART
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The Music and Art curricula focus on the learner as both the recipient and instructor of the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for artistic
expression and cultural literacy. The design of the curricula is student-centered, based on spiral progression of processes, concepts and skills and
grounded in performance-based learning. Thus, the learner is empowered, through active involvement and participation, to effectively correlate music and
art to the development of his/her own cultural identity and the expansion of his/her vision of the world.
As Music and Art are performance-based disciplines, effective learning occurs through active experience, participation, and performance, creative
expression, aesthetic valuation, critical response, and interpretation. The skills that are developed include reading/analyzing, listening/observing, performing,
(singing, using musical instruments, movement, acting, and playing, using different art materials, techniques and processes, responding, composing, and
creating. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2).
The philosophical foundations upon which standards and competencies are based include: A Process of Education by Jerome Bruner, Performance-
Based Learning by Cleve Miller, Aesthetic Education by Bennett Reimer, Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, A Structure for Music Education by
Ronald Thomas, Gongs and Bamboo by Jose Maceda, Compendium on the Humanities: Musical Arts produced by the National Research Council of the
Philippines, Cultural Dictionary for Filipinos by Thelma Kintanar and Associates, Creative and Mental Growth by Viktor Lowenfeld and W. Lambert Brittain,
Discipline-Based Art Education by Elliot Eisner, Encyclopedia of Philippine Arts and Tuklas Sining, both produced by the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Music is both an aural and a temporal art. All its elements, when interwoven in the highest artistic order, are likened into a ―tapestry moving in time.‖
The global weavings of this ―tapestry‖ in historical and cultural contexts are diverse—having spurred a continued metamorphosis to include a full range of
purposes, functions, and identities, from the utilitarian to aesthetic.
However, the basic nature of music does not change. In his book A Structure for Music Education, Ronald Thomas articulates that the nature of music
is expressive, ongoing, and creative. Through a language and medium of its own, music conveys ideas and feelings in a way that addresses the human spirit,
and has great value in its communicative process. Music, being responsive in interpreting contemporary times, is a continuing art. Aaron Copland describes
this characteristic as a ―continuous state of becoming.‖ Like the other arts, music is a creative avenue for man’s individual quest for self- expression and
fulfillment.
On these basic characteristics are founded the rationale of music study. A keen sensitivity to environmental and musical sounds needs to be
developed. The student must learn to ―hear,‖ ―speak,‖ and ―think‖ in the medium of music. Simultaneously, growth and development in the skills that enable
the application of the learner’s knowledge should be encouraged, through active involvement in the various musical processes.
Drawing from the development of music pedagogy through the years, the K-10 Music Curriculum embodies the best practices advocated by the
SPIRAL, MULTI-CULTURAL, and INTEGRATIVE approaches in music education, as well as current philosophical thought about contemporary general
education. We envision that Music in the K-10 Program will effectively nurture and refine the learner’s artistic expression and cultural literacy, and celebrate
his/her national heritage, while it instills, within every individual Filipino learner, pride in his/her own cultural identity.
Art has been present since the beginning of civilization as it is an essential means for man to live and communicate with others. It has been used to
enhance man’s life and surroundings, to express his thoughts, dreams, and spiritual beliefs, and to share his own and his community’s aspirations,
celebrations, and events. Art records, reflects, and rearranges man’s life and existence.
Art is a visualization of a people’s history and uniqueness, a reflection of their creativity and accomplishments, and a visible expression of their distinct
way of thinking, communicating, reasoning, and worshiping. It is expressed in a unique symbol system that is visual, kinetic and tactile, . Howard Gardner,
an educator and psychologist, affirms that the arts develop the child’s “SPATIAL, INTRAPERSONAL, LINGUISTIC AND KINESTHETIC
INTELLIGENCES ” for the Arts develop a distinct way of seeing, thinking, communicating, and creating in a person. Furthermore, Art develops and
increases a person’s ability to apply creative and new solutions, for new problems in our world. Schools, therefore, need to develop the multiple
intelligences of a student through the arts. The K-12 Art and Music Curriculum seeks to address these needs of our students for the 21st Century.
The 21st Century is a different world: it is highly visual , with a proliferation of images seen not only in static media like magazines, books, paintings and
posters. Now images are kinetic and accessible in various media like television, outdoor advertisements, movies, cell phones, and new technologies like
ipads, ipods, DVD players, personal computers, and tablets. Artists create, upload and share via the Internet, images, sounds, texts, films, videos, pictures,
artworks and designs These are readily available and interactive, involving the viewer to react, comment and utilize these visuals through the Internet.
Teaching Art to students is one way for them to process and interpret the barrage of images and sounds, in a critical and intelligent manner.
The focus of the K-12 Art curriculum is PHILIPPINE ART, CULTURE and HERITAGE, appreciating the diversity of our local artists, our arts, crafts,
and indigenous materials to strengthen the student’s identity of being Filipino, before he/she is introduced to the art of other countries. The modules guide
educators and provide our students with art experiences, concepts, and processes that are presented in a SPIRAL PROGRESSION of difficulty and
depth from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
The approach is CHILD-CENTERED and HANDS-ON in creating art using locally available materials. It develops the student’s imagination and individual
expression, and his/her CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS through inquiry into the aesthetic qualities of his work, the work of others and of artists from the
Philippines and other parts of the world. It culminates in connecting art to other subject areas and provides exposure and apprenticeship to
professionals in various art-related fields so the student can discover and consider the different career opportunities in art.
