Music

Music Overview

Music is an important part of the educational program for Montpelier pupils. It contributes in a multitude of ways to each child’s intellectual and emotional development. It fosters creativity, critical judgment, and appreciation. Learning to sing or to play an instrument requires self-discipline, coordination, and teamwork. The social and cultural lessons gained from working toward a common goal add much to the growth of the student.

The Montpelier Public School System provides a wide variety of activities, from athletics to art, in an effort to help each student express himself/herself. Music is one such medium of self-expression.

At Main Street Middle School, students have a variety of experiences in music available to them.
