Elk Ridge Music

Elk Ridge music content aligns with Pennsylvania State Music Standards and the 2014 NAfME National Music Standards. First and second grade students at Elk Ridge learn to sing, creatively move, and play a variety of pitched and nonpitched instruments. Music instruction is delivered with the Orff-Schulwerk method.

OASD has been recognized as one of the best communities for music education through the NAMM foundation.

How should my child prepare for music class?

Just like in Health/PE, students should wear sneakers and clothes suitable for movement in the music classroom. Movement supports music learning, so make sure your child is able to move freely.
