Guitar -beginning course of study MDUSD.pdf
Summary: A committee of high school Music Teachers and a School Support Administrator for VAPA went through the district process to write a new course of study for high school beginning guitar. The new course of study has been revised to be offered as a year long course, as opposed to a semester long course. In addition, the new course has been revised to incorporate the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practices and is aligned with UC Course Guidelines. This process was necessary as the previous Guitar course had not been updated since 2004 and is now seeking UC a-g approval.
