MUS-HS.c1
High School String Standards
Category 1: Executive Skills and Knowledge
MUS-HS.c1 The technical skills and understanding required to physically perform on the instrument, such as body format, bowing, etc.
Calculations
Categories are larger groups of related standards. So the Category grade is a calculation of all the related Standards listed below:
Standards
MUS-HS.c1.A
Body FormatStudents establish a lengthened and balanced posture; support instrument without tension, demonstrate ease of motion; format is adjusted for physiological changes due to growth; control of weight distribution, unilateral movement, bilateral movement, in sitting and standing position.
MUS-HS.c1.B
Left Hand
Students perform with correct address and angle of left arm-wrist-hand-finger to instrument, that is balanced and free of tension; independence of fingers; ease of motion and control of finger weight; produces characteristic tone, with vibrato (as appropriate); shows understanding and ability to apply fingerings, finger patterns, shifting, extensions.
MUS-HS.c1.C
Right HandStudents perform with fluent bowing motion, control of variables (weight, angle, speed, and placement), in a variety of bowing techniques and articulations, with characteristic tone.

MUS-HS.c2
High School String Standards
Category 2: Musicianship Skills and Knowledge
MUS-HS.c2 The elements such as understanding of rhythms, aural skills, note-reading skills, etc., that relate to musical understandings.
Calculations
Categories are larger groups of related standards. So the Category grade is a calculation of all the related Standards listed below:
Standards
MUS-HS.c2.A
Tonal Aural Skills and Ear Training
Students demonstrate the following abilities: matching and manipulating pitch, playing with a sense of tonality, tonal-melodic and tonal-harmonic function (horizontal and vertical relationships/functions of tonality), ear-to-hand skills, aural and kinesthetic awareness of pitch accuracy and intonation, including and related to improvisation.
MUS-HS.c2.B
Rhythmic Aural Skills and Ear Training
Students perform simple and complex rhythmic patterns/functions, with steady pulse/beat, correct sense of meter, metric organization and phrasing, in a variety of meters.
MUS-HS.c2.C
Creative Musicianship
Students demonstrate creative musicianship skills at all stages of development, including the ability to improvise variations of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic patterns, within the traditions and standards of a variety of genres and practices; arrange and compose melodies and harmonies according to specific criteria and guidelines.
MUS-HS.c2.D
Music Literacy
Students demonstrate sequential music literacy {decoding and comprehension), defined as association of sound to symbol, in a given musical context, which includes: predictive components, knowledge of symbols and notation related to pitch, rhythm, dynamics, tonality, clef, articulation, etc.), based on the principle that sound comes before sight.
MUS-HS.c2.E
Ensemble Skills
Students perform in an ensemble, demonstrating sensitivity and the ability to adjust and maintain a uniform sense of rhythm, tempo, articulation, tone, blend, balance, and dynamics; understand conducting gestures, follow conductor and section leader, and are able to synchronize bowings.

High School String Standards
Category 3: Artistic Skills and Knowledge
MUS-HS.c3 The elements that relate to the creative and expressive side of music-making, beyond mere performance, such as improvisation, performance with artistic understanding, etc.
Calculations
Categories are larger groups of related standards. So the Category grade is a calculation of all the related Standards listed below:
Standards
