Hawaii Elementary Music Standards

Every Hawaii PK–5 general music standard in one place, grade by grade, with the Prodigies lesson that teaches each one.

Hawaii does not publish a separate set of music standards. It uses the National Core Arts Standards (NCAS), so the standards below are the NCAS music standards, Pre-K to Grade 5.

HIDOE Learning Design page: 'The National Core Arts Standards (NCAS) are fully implemented for Fine Arts in grades K-12.' Adoption effective 2022-07-01, replacing HCPS III.
