6th Grade Music Selection
Sixth Grade Music Education Selection
We ask parents/guardians to discuss the music options (chorus, band, orchestra, or classroom music) with their students for next year and complete the Sixth-grade Music Selection Form.
The process of transitioning your fifth-grade student to middle school is an important process in his or her education. Part of this process includes the selection of a sixth-grade music course.
The Middle School Music Program is divided into two areas of study: Classroom Music and Performance Areas. There are three concentrations within Performance Areas: band, chorus, and string orchestra.
Classroom Music
Students will study different styles of music, musical eras, and perform music with a variety of instruments (keyboards, drums, etc.)
Performance Areas
Band/String Orchestra: Requirement: Current participation in elementary band or string orchestra programs.
Chorus: No requirement.
Concert attendance is required and is part of the student’s grade for the course. In addition, some performing groups may require specific concert attire.
The Fugett MS Music Department created an informational video to help you with the selection process.
