Abstract
"Music exists as a discipline that often enhances other subjects. An integrated curriculum can provide students with connection to a real world, greater depth of sudy, and can generate enthusiasm. Through integration, many boundaries can be crossed. The purpose of this project is to create an integrated curriculum for music and social studies for the fifth grade. The curriculum is for the period of the Renaissance and the American Revolution. Topics explored relate to the subject of integrations. Guidelines form Washington State Commission on Student Learning as well as national standards for music and social studies are used as the framework for the curriculum development. Through this curriculum it is hoped that educators will be inspired to create their own integration units that cross curricular boundaries."
