Welcome to Our Village. Music is Our Language!
Welcome to Our Village. Music is Our Language!
This year, your child will be participating in a music class designed to foster lifelong appreciation of music through active music making. The sequenced music instruction will help your child develop musical skills and understanding, using music of various styles from the United States and around the world. In addition to developing specific musical skills, your child's studies in other areas will be enhanced by instruction that links concepts across the curriculum.
The digital Quaver Music curriculum and various technologies help students make connections and relate to various cultures and concepts on a deeper level. Approached as a whole-brain activity, music is interactive, fun, and engaging for all learning styles!
