Music Standards

The Kansas Music Standards were revised and approved by the Kansas State Board of Education in 2015. At this time, the Music Standards have 2 content strands:

  • PreK-8 General Music
  • Ensembles (band, choir, orchestra, etc.)

Other content strands (Theory and Composition, Music Technology, and Harmonizing Instruments) will adapted at a later date.
