The mission of the Litchfield School District Music Department is to provide as many students as possible with meaningful independent and collaborative musical experiences, which will foster a lifelong involvement in the performance, understanding, and appreciation of the discipline and art of music.
For curriculum standards in Grades 1-4, students will
· Sing and play on musical instruments a varied repertoire of music, both alone and with others
· Read and notate music
· Listen to, move to and describe music
· Improvise, compose and/or arrange music
· Evaluate music and performances
· Relate music to other disciplines, history, culture and careers
In Grades 3 and 4, Chorus is optionally offered before school, once a week. The students participate in concerts and festivals in district and at state level.
In Grade 4, all students study the recorder (a woodwind instrument provided free by the district) and participate in optional and required concerts. Grades 1-3 participate in required concerts as well.
