Students at Rover Elementary have great opportunities to develop creativity and musical skills. Students in grades K-2 receive thirty minutes of instruction twice a week. Third and fourth grade students come to music for thirty minutes a week in addition to their band, orchestra, and choir times. In those times, students will learn to sing, play instruments, move to music, create music, and analyze music. We follow an Orff approach, which emphasizes active learning in a creative environment.
