GO Project
The Goals and Objectives Project (GO Project) was established in 1969 to implement the recommendations of the Tanglewood symposium. Paul R. Lehman led the project. A steering committee was appointed along with eight subcommittees, each of which was charged with the investigation of, and recommendations for, specific aspects of music education. After the recommendations had been considered, the Music Educators National Conference ( MENC) appointed two commissions: The MENC National Commission on Organizational Development and the MENC National Commission on Instruction.

Music Education
Music education is a field of practice in which educators are trained for careers as elementary or secondary music teachers, school or music conservatory ensemble directors. Music education is also a research area in which scholars do original research on ways of teaching and learning music. Music education scholars publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals, and teach undergraduate and graduate education students at university education or music schools, who are training to become music teachers. Music education touches on all learning domains, including the psychomotor domain (the development of skills), the cognitive domain (the acquisition of knowledge), and, in particular and the affective domain (the learner's willingness to receive, internalize, and share what is learned), including music appreciation and sensitivity. Many music education curriculums incorporate the usage of mathematical skills as well fluid usage and understanding of a secondary language or ...

Goals 2000
The National Educational Goals, also known as the Goals 2000 Act were set by the U.S. Congress in the 1990s to set goals for standards-based education reform. The intent was for certain criteria to be met by the millennium (2000). Many of these goals were based on the principles of outcomes-based education, and not all of the goals were attained by the year 2000 as intended. Many see this as the predecessor to the No Child Left Behind program, which mandated measurable improvement in student achievement across all groups. Goals 2000 established a framework in which to identify world-class academic standards, to measure student progress, and to provide the support that students may need to help meet the standards. Goals The goals stated in the Summary of Goals 2000 include: ;By the Year 2000... * All children in America will start school ready to learn. * The high school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent. * All students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having d ...
