Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students. Essentially, the content standards for music education are guidelines and help educators in determining objectives for their teaching. The content standards for music education actually follow much of Bloom's taxonomy because each content standard falls within one of each of the levels of Bloom's.
