Hear. See. Do.

 

  

 

"I hear (Tell me), I forget.
I see (Show me)
, I remember.
I do (Involve me), I understand."
-Chinese Proverb

 Hear. See. Do.


      "As sports begin with calisthenics and drills, music begins with rhythm and tonal skills. In sports, the skills are applied to the game with all its rules and boundaries. In music, this is called performance."

What Would You Say...

... If you were offered over 1,000 pages of a research-based, field-tested, master-teacher K-12 general music curriculum?  With 33 years of teaching grades K through university graduate level, Orff-Schulwerk Level III and master classes, and 3 music education degrees, I can provide master pedagogical techniques completely free of new teacher trial-and-error.  Easy-to-use instruction techniques that command results.

I have combined highly effective instruction techniques and other great ideas shared from leading music researchers and educators across the U.S. to create The Knauss Music Curriculum--detailed, daily, ready-made lesson plans for a premier music program.

 This K-12 music curriculum has been designed with two specific priorities: (1) foremost to teach music instructors how students learn music skills and perform artistically, and (2) secondarily what music activities best educate toward those skills and artistry. (See Research-Based, Scope and Sequenced.)

If you want a step-by-step master general music curriculum for your classroom or home school that has proved its effectiveness on all students from challenged to accelerated, then my curriculum is right for you.  Not only will your students develop internalized musicianship, but they will gain a life-time love of music!
