Elementary School Music Curriculum

  • Elementary General Music instruction is provided for elementary school students in Kindergarten through 6th grade once each week for 40 minutes.  This instruction focuses on the acquisition of the musical building blocks required for students to develop a lifelong musical appreciation.  In music class, students sing, play instruments, learn choreography, and perform to support the development of perseverence and creativity within self-expression.

    Band and Orchestra are year-long elective courses available to students who are interested in learning a band or orchestra instrument.  Students in the elementary school band or orchestra will engage in their technical and musical development through performance-based activities designed to challenge and encourage musical growth.  All students who have begun to learn an instrument in elementary school are encouraged to continue that development through middle and high school in order to benefit most significantly from this learning.
