The 7th Grade general music classes experience music in an environment much like a laboratory, a musical laboratory if you will, in order to learn, explore and make discoveries about music. Students continue to expand upon and add to the concepts they learned in 5th and 6th grade. This area of the website serves two purposes:
 
  -To offer students a place outside of the classroom to review projects/lessons as well as to continue participation through various interactive measures.
 
  -To offer parents, teachers, community members and students that are not in this class, a look into our classroom.

Student Expectations

 

Students study various elements of music in order to gain an in depth understanding of this important art form.

Their experiences are in the form of projects
