The eighth grade general music curriculum covers the Romantic and 20^th century periods in European music. We will also touch on jazz, blues, and early rock music. The students will have several listening tests. There will be a few power point presentations and a paper during the course of the school year. Reading and writing music will also be emphasized. The students will use those acquired skills to compose a short percussion piece and perform it in class.
