Music
Music enhances our students' education. At the foundation stage of our music curriculum we are developing fundamental concepts of music through composition, such as sound and silence, beat, dynamics and pitch. The connect listening portion of our lessons is to not only provide a listening experience for our students, but really to help them understand and connect with music and its purpose.
