Mount Markham Central School District

Challenging and Inspiring Children to be Lifelong Learners

Music

 Music

Our robust music program spans across all three buildings in the district, providing our students with high-quality educational opportunities and fostering lifelong musical appreciation.

Starting in elementary school, students are enrolled in music classes that build foundational skills and allow for exploration of music. Students may also participate in extra-curriculars such as music club or chorus.

In the middle school, students continue to strengthen their musical education. They also have additional opportunities to join band, chorus, or the school musical.

Once in the high school, students may continue to develop and master their skills by joining band, jazz band, or chorus. Students also have the chance to audition for drama productions like the fall play, spring musical, and all-school musical.
