Provide developmentally appropriate music instruction using a variety of methods for all students in grades K-5 (and Pre-K as time allows) based on national and state standards across the curriculum. Positions are itinerant, i.e. teachers will teach in at least one and possibly two schools during the course of the year or teachers are assigned to a different school each year. The opportunity for teacher growth is provided through professional development presented by performing arts peers, resource teachers and content-specific administrators who are committed to supporting educators. A teacher-directed budget for supplies, equipment and other necessities is provided for each elementary school.
