The Music Memory Contest at Kansas State University is designed to be a celebration of 3rd through 6th grade
students’ musical accomplishments in the area of listening to classical Western European music. The Contest is
an extension of the Music Memory listening curriculum, published annually. The Music Memory listening
curriculum provides you with lessons that can actively engage your students in listening to classical music and
understanding the forms, melodies, and history within this music (addressing the National Music Standards of
Responding and Connecting to Music). Music Memory is not designed to be a complete school music
curriculum, as it addresses a specific area of musical learning and musical skill set.
