3					Organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
4					Refine and complete artistic work.

6	The Create Blueprint is for teachers who would like their students to make their own music. Students will conceptualize different aspects of the traditional music about which they are learning, then develop, organize, and bring their own ideas to life by creating art that is uniquely their own. The emphasis in this blueprint is on composition and improvisation, which are broad concepts that can be found in all music. For this blueprint, students will need to have their instruments available during the exchange, or have the freely available notation software, Musescore, installed on their computer. The Creating Bueprint has a minimum requirement of 6 exchanges.

14	Grade 3-4	Music	Creating	3-4.M.Cr.01	Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Sing or play original musical ideas that explore more complex rhythmic and melodic concepts (including, syncopation, three-four time signature, and minor keys).
15	Grade 3-4	Music	Creating	3-4.M.Cr.03	Refine and complete artistic work. Respond to a musical challenge and hypothesize possible solutions.
16	Grade 5-6	Music	Creating	5-6.M.Cr.01	Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Generate interdisciplinary musical ideas using a variety of non-traditional sound sources (e.g., found sounds, digital technology, unusual voices).
17	Grade 5-6	Music	Creating	5-6.M.Cr.03	Refine and complete artistic work. Improvise and compare different versions of a single musical idea (e.g., adding flourishes, altering rhythms).
18	Grade 7-8	Music	Creating	7-8.M.Cr.01	Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Compose musical ideas (e.g., rhythms, melodies, ostinato, and harmonies) using expanded forms (e.g., introductions, transitions, codas).
19	Grade 7-8	Music	Creating	7-8.M.Cr.02	Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. Document an original melody and simple accompaniment using standard notation (e.g., a melody and chords).
20	Grade 9-12	Music	Creating	AG.M.Cr.01	Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. Consistently apply research to generate compositional ideas (e.g., to help generate new ideas, students listen to several different recordings of pieces that use industrial sounds).
21	Grade 9-12	Music	Creating	AG.M.Cr.03	Refine and complete artistic work. Refine musical pieces to extended rhythmic and harmonic ideas (e.g., composing in unusual time signatures or moving beyond I, IV, V progressions).
