Music

The goal of the music program at MAE is to get the children “hooked” on music so that they not only enjoy listening to music, but also become active participants in making music…not just for the years that they are here but throughout their lives. Over the course of 3 years, the students learn about the steady beat, rhythm, pitch, movement and reading a simple line of music.

This is accomplished through playing games, singing, dancing, performing in programs,playing percussion instruments and playing the recorder.

Music is a powerful teaching/learning tool and whenever possible, as part of the school’s integrated Arts program, the material being taught in the Music Room ties in with the unit of study being taught in the classroom.
