PERFORMING ARTS

Innovations Performing Arts Program gives students opportunities to explore the worlds of drama and music in an integrated and process-oriented setting. Students attend class twice a week with specialist, Sue Boyum, where creativity and imagination are fostered.

Innovations Drama Program addresses four basic domains of learning:

  • Psychomotor--developing perceptual and expressive skills and techniques
  • Cognitive--assimilating knowledge and developing higher order thinking skills
  • Affective--cultivating positive attitudes towards art and the discipline or are, and about themselves in relation to art
  • Aesthetic--deriving pleasure from a combination of senses, emotions, intellect, philosophy, imagination and spirit

The Music Program actively engages students in the music making process with a goal of musical independence.

The mediums through which students participate include:

  • singing
  • using speech
  • setting sound
  • moving
  • reading music
  • using body percussion
  • playing instruments
  • writing music
  • listening
  • improvising
  • composing
  • responding
  • evaluating

An understanding of music is gained through the sequenced development of concepts based on the elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, form, expression, history and style, and composition and performance.

Units of study are integrated with core curriculum units to create a whole learning approach for students.
