In the elementary grades, vocal music is taught by itinerant music specialists. Instrumental music, either band or strings, is offered in all schools in grades 7 and 8. Our yearly Music Festival provides a non-competitive showcase for school choirs, bands and ensembles. The visual arts program offers opportunities for teachers and students to visit galleries, special exhibits and to work with professional artists through the Artist in the School program. Professional musicians, actors and dancers perform in the schools through programs like Prologue to the Performing Arts and the Inner City Angels.
Students also visit concert halls and theatres for live performances.
