Music

Music for Minors is a sequential, in-school music education program that is delivered in alignment with the California Content Standards for Music. SCSD has partnered with Music for Minors to provide music instruction in elementary schools as well as choir classes at both middle schools.

Music for Minors provides a weekly program for kindergarten through 3rd grade students. It offers a variety of hands-on experiences through participation in singing, movement, theory, dance, musical games, and through the use of rhythm instruments and the recorder.

Teaching focus:

Singing: pitch matching, posture, breath, head voice, chest voice, ear training, enunciation
Rhythm: steady beat, body percussion, instruments
Movement: folk dance, musical games, action songs
Listening: across the eras and around the world
Playing recorder (3rd grade): reading notation and fingering notes

The mission of Music for Minors is to nurture love and literacy of music through instruction, participation, and performances -- enhancing academic education with musical arts.
