Classes

General Music Classes

All Happy Hollow Elementary students participate in general music class weekly for 45 minutes for the entire year, with an additional 45-minute weekly class for 12 weeks each year. This is equivalent to 60 minutes per week for the year. Students sing, play classroom instruments, move to music, improvise, and even compose their own music. Each grade level will produce an annual musical, performed in the West Lafayette Jr./Sr. High School Marshall Howenstein Auditorium. Music grades are issued once each semester, based on class participation, growth, and musical achievement.
