Organized flexibly, these 17 unit outlines are arranged to provide articulation with lower levels, utilization of student-preferred material, and coverage of the most essential instructional aspects of music appreciation in an increasing order of complexity. Each unit outline contains (1) aims and objectives, (2) vocabulary, (3) suggested and alternate lesson topics, (4) procedures, (5) summary concepts, (6) references, (7) audiovisual material lists, (8) sample lesson plans, and (9) sample worksheets. The introduction includes a sample pupil inventory form, an auditory discrimination test (of both performers and symphonic works), and a basic song list, while supplementary materials conclude the syllabus with lists of popular songs, audiovisual aids, and recordings; an outline of musical rudiments; a sample lesson plan for appreciation and understanding of program music; and a bibliography.
