Our MUSIC program supports cognitive and spatial development as well as math and
memory functions. It also reflects and celebrates the human experience throughout
history and across cultures. Students who study voice or an instrument outside of school
will build on their abilities while others may use online music education apps to help
master note and pitch identification.
Fifth and sixth grades learn to read music and study a variety of classic
composers. You will make progress in both piano and guitar, and have opportunities to
experiment with other musical instruments, forming groups that blend the sounds of a
variety of instruments.
Seventh grade marks a transitional period to
a "voice and choice" level of independence in
music. Students are challenged to select and
execute their own choreographed dances based
on individual song selections.
By eighth grade, you will take charge of your
creative expression, composing musical pieces
throughout the year. You will research and report
stories about composers, with a focus on
contemporary music.
