Music in
Schalmont
 The Schalmont Music Department hopes to provide for each student an eclectic look at the world of
music. Our goal is to maintain a strong music program for students from
kindergarten through the 12th grade. We offer a wide variety of experiences throughout their academic years and constantly challenge students to go beyond the written musical note.
 The language of music is taught in all music classes as well as in all performing groups. Our curriculum is aligned with New York State
learning standards,
and students have many opportunities to perform, listen and create music throughout their years at Schalmont.
As a faculty, we understand the importance of a K-12 curriculum
because we see the value of our youngest musicians developing into many of our top musicians at the
high school level.
 Studies have proven the importance of music in a child's life. New research
on the brain shows that music is not only fun, but it also improves brain development and enhances skills in other subjects such as reading and writing. Our music staff is committed to offering excellent instructional experiences to enhance our future musicians.
We are very proud of our performing groups at Schalmont,
so we invite community members to join us for the many
concerts,
plays and performances held throughout the school year.
