Mission For The Class
Music is both an academic and arts subject that is important to a child's development.
In our Elementary Program students learn and participate in all aspects of music.
Students learn to sing, dance, play instruments, and read music in this program. The
purpose of this class is to expose students to various modes of music, different composers
and genres of music, and help instill in them a love of music.
In our Middle School Music Program students are exposed to performance-based
music ensembles, experience being a part of a musical ensemble, acquire good musicianship
skills, and utilize and expand their previous knowledge of music. Students are given
the opportunity to specialize either: BAND, CHORUS, or GUITAR. In all courses
students will learn the basic fundamentals of music, music theory, and music history.
