We follow the Archdiocese of Philadelphia music guides for each grade, as well as the National Standards for Music Education.
In grades 4th to 8th we continue expanding on our musical concepts for each grade level in the same areas as K-3rd grade. We talk about different styles of music as well as how to compose our own musical pieces. The students are graded on our lessons through cooperation, participation, assignments, and assessments.

General Music Distance Learning
All students (grades 4th-8th) will receive work weekly via our Google Classroom page
For Students in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th:- Work will be posted each week (Monday) to your Google Classroom page for music

- Assignments will be given a week-long window to complete each assignment
- Assignments given on a week-to-week basis
- *PLEASE NOTE* I will not be penalizing work for being 'late'; please complete as you are able to, but, do not worry if you do not meet the weekly 'deadline' :)
