6th Grade Music Appreciation Class
    This class is intended to provide appreciation and understanding for the non-performer as well as valuable background and knowledge for student musicians. A large part of our curriculum is music history from the years 450 to 1750. In addition we learn about the professional orchestra, instruments from around the world, and the American musical. We listen to many great pieces of music in a variety of styles and learn to analyze and evaluate the music in its cultural or historical context.
