This music education homepage is organized to provide
links to curriculum resources for each of the nine national
content standards as presented by the National Standards for
Art Education. A variety of documents describing what
students should know and be able to do in the arts are

intended for everyone who is interested in the quality of
music instruction in America's schools.
