The music curriculum follows State
and National Standards. Music instruction develops the right side
of the brain (motor skills, spatial orientation, artistic talents,
imagination, and feelings), which in turn enhances the left brain
(reading, writing, and math).
The goal of music class is to
foster a love of music through expression, listening, and participation.
Music helps to develop the "whole" child. Classroom
Rules
Raise your hand to speak..
Listen and follow directions the first time.
Follow classroom procedures.
Respect (yourself, teacher, classmates, & school property).
Homework Policy
