Music appreciation – Music is very important to our overall development. For this reason, music is played in the hallways and classrooms. Each month the music teacher focuses on a classic composer such as Brahams, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Handel, and Beethoven. The composer’s music is then played in the hallway and classrooms throughout the month.
