Ecole KLO Middle School Music Program Philosophy We believe music is an integral part of a
student’s overall education. We strive to establish, for every student,
a lasting relationship with music that provides satisfaction, enjoyment, and personal growth during the middle school years and throughout life.
We involve students in musical experiences both as music makers and as listeners.
5
Ecole KLO Middle School Music Program Philosophy
The learning of music is sequential. The curriculum is based on developing skills in the
elements of music - performing, describing, and creating.
We recognize and accommodate students’ different music aptitudes using a variety of learning modes and cognitive processes.
Through music lessons, we engage students in developing the Attributes of a Learner - Learner, Thinker, Innovator, Colloborator & Contributor

A comprehensive music program has many components: Includes meaningful music experiences Develop creative abilities of each student Provide a variety of music to enhance understanding
of other cultures Develop basic music skills Enhance learning through correlation with other
academic areas Share music achievement through performances Develop positive attitude toward the art of music Encourage participation and appreciation of music
as an adult
