•                                            General Music K-5
     
    All students attend music classes weekly. Kindergarten classes have 30 minutes of music per week; first through fifth grades meet for 45 minutes per week with an additional 60 minutes during the Integrated Arts Day once every 3 week rotation.
     
    Music classes provide instruction in music based on the following essential concepts of music:
    1. Understanding how pitch is organized serves as the foundation of tonal/aural development.
    2. Interpreting how sound is organized over time serves as the foundation of rhythmic development.
    3. The understanding of signs and symbols is achieved through music notation/visual development.
    4. The production of music is achieved through instrumental development.
    5. Listening to music creates an aesthetic/critical response.

      A variety of methods are used. The kids enjoy singing, movement, playing instruments, listening to and creating their own music, and learning about music styles and prominent composers.
