WISD fifth graders participate in an annual Children's Choral Festival |
According to which campus your student attends, students in WISD begin music instruction either
at Pre-K or Kindergarten. At the elementary level, children explore vocal and instrumental music,
learn rhythms, and how to read notes. Students explore world culture through storytelling,
movement, song, and technology. Students also create and participate in performances throughout
the year. Our students also learn the following in our elementary music program: |
| |
- Music reading and musicianship
- Responsibility to self and others
- How their personal choices in music compares and contrasts to the world around them
- How music is necessary and enriching to their lives
- How music builds confidence and knowledge across the core curriculum
