Department Overview:
The East Rockaway Music Department empowers students to create, appreciate, and perform music in order to foster a life-long passion for the arts. Embedded in the curriculum, students learn skills and techniques which must be developed with patience, planning, and goal setting. The Music Department also provides a wide range of opportunities for students to showcase their musicianship. These different experiences allow students to study different styles of music, historical contexts, and varying ensemble arrangements. By supporting students' music learning with a variety of contexts, the Music Department strives to create a well-rounded music experience for every participant.
