Music Department

  • Daniel Warren & F.E. Bellows (K-5) - Elementary students engage in singing, movement, composition and the playing of various classroom musical instruments. Class discussions at this age level focus on the music being created and allow students to begin developing their musical vocabulary. Music literacy is presented and taught in developmentally appropriate ways so that students are empowered to engage in music making. At the end of third grade, students are offered the opportunity to choose a band or string instrument to study. Grade level singing takes place K-5.

    Middle School (6-8) - All middle school students participate in General Music 6-8. Studies include world drumming & music technology. In addition, opportunities to participate in musical ensembles are available as well. Students can continue with the band and string programs they began at the elementary level. Students wishing to continue singing and study on a deeper level can now become part of the middle school choral program. All musical ensembles meet before school. Instrumentalists are offered a small group lesson opportunity during their regular school day in addition to the before school ensemble. 

    High School (9-12) - The High School music program not only permits students to meet the graduation requirement of one credit in the arts, but it also allows students to continue developing their musicianship on a deeper and more advanced level. Courses offered include band, strings, chorus, music technology and independent music theory.
