General Music at Roxbury
Roxbury music students will use their voices, bodies and instruments to discover, create and perform music.
As active music makers, we will experience music physically, visually and aurally and will build on our current understanding of music concepts and skills.
Skills and concepts are reviewed and spiraled throughout the curriculum.
The goal of the Roxbury music program is independent music making with strong music reading skills.
