Instructional Programs


The Rincon Valley Union School District has developed a comprehensive music program for both primary and intermediate students. Classroom music is taught to primary students in the district by the classroom teacher, a music teacher and a roving music paraprofessional emphasizing singing and note reading. It is enhanced through singing and rhythmic activities. In third grade, students begin their instrumental training with instruction on the song flute. The fourth through sixth-grade students have both a choral music program and an instrumental program. There is beginning band in fourth and fifth grades and advanced band in fifth and sixth grades. Students present their music to the public at two formal performances and in the regional band festival. Instrumental students also have an opportunity to participate in the district marching band that has repeatedly received first place honors in the Santa Rosa Rose Parade. In addition, there is a jazz band, AbraCaJazz, composed of a select number of qualified band students, and an Honor Chorus selected by audition. Rincon Valley's music program is one of the most extensive elementary music programs in the county.

The Rincon Valley Royals Marching Band participated in the 2011 Rose Parade on May 21.
