Music Education

BridgePrep Academy offers Music education programs that begins in Kindergarten and continues throughout the Middle school years.

BridgePrep Academy offers visual and performing arts integrated into core curriculum subjects to enhance instruction and demonstration of subject area mastery. In addition, exploration of the arts will allow students to explore their heritage as well as the heritage of various other cultures. BridgePrep Academy will provide opportunities for students to display their talents in the arts through displays, shows, and competitions.

Students will participate in music and visual arts through a rotating schedule of “special area” courses. Students are involved in these courses one or two days per week, depending on the rotation.

In alignment with the state standards, music instructors will develop student awareness, appreciation, and understanding of musical skills and knowledge in various genres. The music program will provide instruction in skills and techniques involved in singing, playing instruments, musical interpretation, and creative expression. Music instructors will collaborate with core curriculum instructors to assist in interdisciplinary projects or assignments. This allows for cohesiveness among subject areas and allows students to see the relationships between music, mathematics, reading, and other subjects.

Elementary Music and Art are .5 credits and offered during the daily block to students on a weekly basis in elementary grades. Grades 6-8: Middle school students will have the opportunity to choose a fine arts component as their second elective during the regular school day. The courses that may be offered include music.
