Hawaii Music Curriculum Program
Comprehensive Musicianship Through Classroom Music was published in 1974. It is the result of the Hawaii Music Curriculum Program, which began in 1968 under the sponsorship of the Hawaii Curriculum Center in Honolulu. Its purpose was to create a logical, continuous educational program ensuring the competent guidance of the music education of all children in the state's public schools and to test and assemble the materials needed by schools to realize this problem. Students are to be involved with music in school in the same ways that people are involved with music in the outside world. The curriculum is based on seven basic concepts—tone, rhythm, melody, harmony, form, tonality, and texture—that are presented in the form of a spiral curriculum. The taxonomy of concepts was translated into a curriculum by means of division into five "zones."
