Compare/Contrast: Bloom's Taxonomy and 9 National Standards

Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Nine National Standards for Music Education are very similar. Bloom’s taxonomy is made up of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. One of the things that make these two so similar is that in order to get to the highest step, you have to complete the beginning steps first. For example in Bloom’s taxonomy, a person first has to be able to remember the information before he or she can create something new with the concept. This is   like the music standards. A person must be able to understand music and be able to play it before he or she can evaluate and create his or her own. The beginning steps are like the foundation that has to be built upon to get to the higher levels for both Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Nine National Standards for Music Education. The difference between the two is that Bloom’s Taxonomy is more general than the Nine National Standards for Music Education. Bloom’s Taxonomy can be used in all subjects and areas of school while the Nine National Standards for Music Education is specifically for music.
