Never before has such an amazing composition been combined with such deep and rich curricula.  This five-movement Integrated Thematic Instructional Unit is designed to challenge your students musically, academically, and personally. Each of the movements is paired with curricula centered around leadership and character development. The musical and curricular elements are designed to go hand in hand to provide them with an experience like no other.

Conceived and created to foster critical thinking skills and meaningful discussions, musical and otherwise, these materials are ties to the Common Core Standards related to reading, writing, music, art, and critical thinking skills. In addition to the curricula, we have provided sample grading rubrics, community letters and so much more.  Each movement and corollary assignment can stand on their own, allowing the director the flexibility of using as much or as little as they want of the music and the curricula.

Each of the five movements of this innovative work is designed to invoke a particular type of emotion associated with leadership. Courage is stately in nature and played in a marcato style. Vision has a playful sense and focuses on mixed meters as well as mixed emotions. The lyric and sensitive Compassion is meant to stir the soul, while the contrasting Selflessness offers some of the most intense and demanding music of the set. The energetic final movement, Heroes, will bring to mind your own favorite superhero! Supplemental curricula centered around leadership and character development is available and is tied to the Common Core Standards. Each movement and accompanying curriculum can stand on its own, allowing the director the flexibility of using as much or as little as desired. A tremendous resource for today's teacher!

This is just the curricula and does not include the music.
