The music program at Auburn Elementary strives to ensure that each student has a positive experience in the musical classroom setting. We hope to instill a desire within the students to make music a part of their lives, giving them a sense of confidence in becoming active participants, listeners, and consumers of music for their lifetime. Students are given the opportunity to participate in singing songs, playing a variety of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic instruments, and learning folk dances in a variety of styles and cultures. This helps to create an understanding of how music is influenced by major historical events. From these classroom experiences, students are given opportunities to participate as a performer which may be presented to the public.
