General Music
Course Description • The purpose of the general music course at Cliffside Park Middle School is to develop comprehensive musicianship with a focus of musical literacy. As a music educator, I believe all students are musical by nature, and have tremendous potential to learn and enjoy music. While research shows that music helps students develop higher-order skills and increase desire to learn, our driving goal is to help students become more enlightened and truly alive through a balanced, comprehensive, and sequential program of study.
