Middlebury Elementary School

Students all receive one music class per week. Children explore the elements of music by developing various musical skills. These skills include singing, rhythmic competency, playing instruments, listening, creating, moving, and note reading. The Orff approach to teaching music is utilized which encourages the student to actively participate in the making of music. Through positive, enjoyable experiences in music, the child will develop a deeper understanding of music's expressive qualities.

For the older children, we offer a fourth and fifth grade chorus. Each chorus meets during the school day and presents one concert annually.

String and band lessons begin in grade five with a beginners' band created as the year progresses.
