Music This Year 2015 - 2016

The mission of Piner-Olivet’s Music Education Program is to provide all students with an equal opportunity to learn the art of music. Students learn to create, perform, listen to, read, understand, and respond to music in a meaningful way.
Kindergarten-Second Grade
Through the use of pitched percussion instruments (marimbas, glockenspiels, metallophones, and boomwhackers), unpitched percussion instruments (egg shakers, maracas, etc.), dance and vocal instruction, K-2 students are provided with a well-rounded early childhood music education.

Third Grade-Second Grade
​3-6 grade students are taught the foundations of music from four of the major instrument families: strings (ukuleles), woodwinds (recorders), percussion (drums), and voice. Students are prepared to play in beginning ensembles as they enter middle school.

After School Chorus:
Interested voice students have the opportunity to join after school chorus, at Olivet Elementary Charter School, Schaefer Charter, Jack London Elementary, and Piner-Olivet Charter School. Students in choir work on technical vocal skills, performance techniques, and repertoire. ​
