Our MBMA Music program allows students to explore musical experiences in a nurturing atmosphere. Our goal of the curriculum is to develop a sense of rhythm and musical independence through movement, dance, exploration, improvisation, composition, and performance. New concepts are introduced with a progression of experiences to assist in the learning and mastery of the technique or idea. Students progress in the following sequence: observation, imitation, exploration/experimentation, improvisation/creation, independence, and finally literacy. Music appreciation is also incorporated with composer study, music, and literature units. School-wide performances throughout the year provide guided rehearsal techniques and applied performance experience.
