Music Curriculum
Music class is offered to Kindergarten through 8th grade. Through the music curriculum students experience music through MOVING, SPEAKING, SINGING, LISTENING, PLAYING, READING, and NOTATING. The process of learning music takes place through IMITATION, EXPLORATION, IMPROVISATION, VISUALIZATION, and AUDIATION. Various methods are applied to reach our learning goals including Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, Universal Design for Learning, and more. Students use various instruments in the classroom such as xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels, tone chimes, tambourines, tubanos, and more!
