The goal of the Gillispie School’s music program is to develop the musical potential of every child through a balanced, comprehensive and sequential curriculum of study in music.

Children acquire musical skills through singing, playing instruments, movement with music and creating music.

Fifth and Sixth grade students are exposed to digital music recording, podcasting and composition using GarageBand.

Children are exposed to a global music experience. Listening to a variety of music styles and composing/improvising create a broad musical experience which help children make informed judgments about music.
