What are the music class options?

All 5th and 6th graders have FIVE options for music classes. Three are instrumental-based and two are vocal-based. The Instrumental options are: 

• Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello 

• Woodwinds: Flute, Clarinet

• Brass: Trumpet, Trombone

The Vocal- based options are: 

• Choir: the voice is an instrument, we all have one and carry it with us everywhere 

• General Music: MusicPlayOnline is the primary curriculum, a song-flute (recorder) unit is included

Considerations when choosing an instrument: 

• The student should choose the instrument who's sound they like the best-NOT what their parents or friends think they should choose. 

• Every instrument presents its own challenges at the beginning stages, none are 'easier' than the others to learn. It just takes patience, your skills will improve with time and effort
