Music Program
East Maine School District 63's Music Program offers students in grades 4-8 advanced musical training and a wide repertoire. Whether in the band, orchestra, or choir (at Gemini), participants receive an excellent musical education in a challenging, fun, and nurturing environment -- and students commit to striving toward excellence in behavior, attitude, musicianship, teamwork, and personal musical growth.
Elementary programs have morning rehearsals once a week to build the musical foundations of playing: reading and notating music; performing, listening, describing, analyzing, and evaluating music and musical performances; and understanding music in relation to humanity.
In addition, each student has a group lesson on a rotating schedule with three-five students who play the same instrument. Group lesson days are based on the availability of instructor, instrument, other classes (art, music, kinetic wellness, etc.)
