School music programs are essential to the life-long learning process of students. Research has shown that the study of music develops higher-order thinking skills and can increase mathematical, linguistic, kinesthetic, and musical intelligence and enhances spatial and abstract reasoning abilities.
Elementary Music:
Our elementary music program includes four key areas of study appropriate for each grade level:
- Singing alone or with others
- Playing classroom instruments alone or with others
- Reading and notating music
- Listening, analyzing, and evaluating music
Fifth graders also have the option of Instrumental Music, including a focus on instrumental technique, musical concepts, music reading, and the application of skills.
Middle School Music:
Students may choose music as an elective in their middle school schedule. Courses may include music stations, band, orchestra, and choir.
High School Music:
Please see the Groves or Seaholm course catalog for high school music options.
