2023-2024 Music Program
Dear Parents,
Music classes are available to all students in the Mark West Union School District.
TK, K, 1st-, and 2nd-grade students will receive music classes during the following trimesters at each school: 1st trimester at Riebli, 2nd trimester at San Miguel, and 3rd trimester at Mark West. Classes will attend 10 weekly half-hour sessions that include singing, moving, listening, composing/improvising, and reading/writing music. Students will learn a variety of musical concepts (e.g. beat, rhythm, pitch, melody, etc.) through fun, hands-on activities and play.
3rd-grade classes will learn to play the recorder in 10 weekly half-hour music classes during the following trimesters at each school: 1st trimester at Riebli, 2nd trimester at San Miguel, and 3rd trimester at Mark West. These recorder classes will culminate in a short concert performance for family and friends to attend or to watch online depending on pandemic restrictions.
4th-, 5th-, and 6th-grade students have the opportunity to learn an instrument or to sing in a chorus for the school year. Music classes are voluntary in these grades, and in order to participate, parents must sign up their child(ren) in August. Weekly half-hour music classes take place primarily between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. in the music room at each school site with a few exceptions. Please read the Music Signup Packet for more information about the 4th-6th grade music program: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ofv58H9XUvNqZuZFIePwl9roBrZpynY3/view?usp=sharing
