Music is so beneficial to student learning. There is a significant amount of research that shows positive effects of music education, which includes improving literacy, mathematics and wellness. It is an important part of culture and strengthens the learning process. Music is a "full brain workout!"

At Chaparral School, we recognize how important it is to provide opportunities for students and staff to work with a Music Specialist. Music is incorporated into learning throughout the day, and several extra curricular opportunities are offered to students throughout the year.

Music is incorporated in several ways at Chaparral School. Our Music and Physical Education Specialists will collaborate to provide some unique experiences for students, such a a drumming/dance unit. Students may perform at school events, such as monthly assemblies, concerts and celebrations. Activities such as inviting guest performers to the school, help expose students to new possibilities. Best of all, students will also be able to get involved with music through choir, instruments (such as ukuleles, hand chimes, drums, recorders), and caroling!
