Instrumental music is offered as an elective academic subject to students in the fourth and fifth grades. Students are taught to play an instrument, to read music and to understand basic music theory. Instruction is offered on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola and cello. It is the responsibility of the families to acquire an instrument. Students receive one group lesson per week throughout the year. The students also present a concert in May to culminate the year.
