6th Grade Music

“Music enhances the education of our children by helping them to make connections and broadening the depth with which they think and feel. If we are to hope for a society of culturally literate people, music must be a vital part of our children’s education.” – Yo-Yo Ma

*In a remote learning environment music instruction may need to move away from performance standards until it is safe to return to group practice and performing. There may be a shift to focus on the creating and responding standards during this time. (See resources)
