MUSIC
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.
