Elementary Music
Creating an appreciation and developing a knowledge of music, instruments, and movement are core to the elementary music experience. The students are encouraged to create, collaborate, communicate, and think critically while developing a knowledge of music. Every week FHPS elementary students are given the opportunity to experience music in a classroom setting. Once a year (if not more) each student is given the opportunity to perform in a music program.
