This worktext has been designed to facilitate the integrated learning of the varied lessons in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health in each of the six elementary education levels. The learning resources in the different areas are aligned with the competencies for MAPEH as provided in the curriculum of the K to 12 Basic Education Program, developed by the Department of Education (DepEd).
In the light of the perceived values of the four interrelated fields, the learners are urged to participate actively in artistic and cultural performances, and demonstrate understanding and appreciation of the crucial roles played by Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health in their overall development — physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and even spiritually. In so doing, they will contribute much to strengthening their respective families, and eventually, to improving society as a whole.
