About MED Music
Students at MED attend music class once a week.
Here they actively explore music in a variety of ways: singing, dancing, listening, improvising,
composing, playing classroom instruments, and reading rhythms and pitches.
Our program draws upon the pedagogies of Feierabend, Orff, Kodaly, and Gordon
and aims to create well-rounded and enthusiastic musicians.
Additionally, fourth and fifth graders may choose to participate in chorus, nicknamed the “Chatham Canaries”. Fourth and fifth grade students may also learn an orchestra or band instrument.
