Through quality music instruction connected to the Common Core State Standards, students are encouraged to celebrate the technical and mechanical building blocks of music as an art form. They are taught with differentiated instruction per grade level, building musical skills and concepts in a sequential comprehensive manner.  Music also has been show to increase academic achievements, supporting their ability to focus, increase self-esteem and enhance their creative and social skills.
