2. performing on instuments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
3. improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments
4. composing and arranging music within specified guidlines
5. reading and notating music
6. listening to, analyzing, and describing music
7. evaluating music and music performance
8. understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts
9. understanding music in relation to history and culture

Blooms Taxonomy

1. creating
2. evaluating
3. analyzing
4. applying
5. understanding
6. remembering

Blooms taxonomy and the nine standards for music education has some similarities and differences.  The last standard goes along with understanding in blooms taxonomy because they are trying to understand music in relation to history and culture.  Standard number 5 goes with evaluating because you as the teacher are making sure that they understand how to read and notate music correctly.  Standard number 7 goes with analyzing because you are teaching the students how to listen and analyze the music in different ways.  The standard number 4 can go with creating because that is when the students can learn to create their own music and perform it for the class.  The main differences between the standards and taxonomy is that the standards has more detail of examples you can use than does the taxonomy.  The taxonomy mainly talks about the three domains which are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
