At West Lafayette Intermediate School, all students participate in a 45-minute weekly general music class. During class, students sing, play classroom instruments, move to music, and improvise. They explore a variety of musical styles and instruments while celebrating music from diverse cultures. Our program develops essential music literacy skills, including rhythm and pitch recognition. Creativity and self-expression are encouraged as we aim to build students’ confidence, inspire a lifelong love of music, and foster teamwork through ensemble playing.
Each grade level will perform a music program during their scheduled class time. 4th grade will perform near the end of April 2026, and 5th-6th will perform in May 2026. Music grades are issued once each semester, based on class participation, growth, and musical achievement.
WLIS 5th and 6th grade students have the opportunity to be part of the band! More information about our band program can be found on the West Lafayette Bands website.
All West Lafayette Intermediate School students have the opportunity to join our orchestra program. More information about our string program can be found on the West Lafayette Orchestras website.
