This webpage will serve as a resource to the Hatfield community looking for information on the activities of the Hatfield Elementary School General Music Program.
Goals of the HES General Music Program:
To have fun making and learning about music.
To develop the basic abilities to sing, dance, think about and talk about music in ways that will be used later in life (i.e. dancing at a wedding, singing a lullaby to a child, attending and enjoying concerts, etc.).
To develop social connections in the classroom and a deeper appreciation of music and nonverbal expression through musical independence and literacy.
