Music

The central purpose of the music program in the Bergenfield elementary schools is to help children grow through shared musical experiences. Sequential instruction is provided in musical literacy, along with the development of an aesthetic appreciation of music and insights into the cultural, historic and artistic contributions of music to society throughout the ages. All children are offered numerous, varied and continuing opportunities for music participation by the special music teachers. Central is the instruction of music in the classroom beginning in Kindergarten and continuing through grade 5.
