The Arts - Music  

The Music program concentrates on students learning to read, play and appreciate music. 

Once students learn to read music, they are given opportunities to learn keyboarding, recorder, and xylophone.  Additionally, students work on vocals and percussion. 

Students will:

(1) be exposed to the basic elements of music, including rhythm, melody, harmony and form.
(2) learn how to read music.
(3) identify different types of musical forms such as classical, jazz, rhythm and blues, spirituals, gospel, rock and roll.
(4) understand the variety of musical settings, including orchestras, recitals, theatre, opera, ballet, movie soundtracks, marching bands, and jazz clubs.

Students will be expected to identify major composers and their works, distinguish genres, identify musical instruments and their related families, and understand key musical elements and concepts.
