Hi Karin - really nice thread you've planted and fertilized. Kudos. Jumping on Becky's points, I have a question on the reverse. As a secondary music specialist in rhythm-section based modern world styles, do you see all of the core subjects (math, history, science and English...) coming into the music classroom as well? My concern is TIME. CCSS is a new learning curve, reverse integration can be a stretch ... music and the arts takes a lot of time to impart and I wouldn't like to see more distractions for any teacher - personal accountability yes, but where is the line? Is there a line?
