Standards

The ʻIlima Intermediate Music Department follows the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS), curated by the National Association for Music Education. As of July 1, 2022, these standards are on a 3-year implementation journey throughout the entire HI-DOE.

The standards emphasize conceptual understanding in areas that reflect the actual processes in which musicians engage. The standards cultivate a student’s ability to carry out the three Artistic Processes of:

  • Creating

  • Performing

  • Responding
