Welcome to Music at Union Memorial School 
The Music program is taught by Ms. Martie Mutz, Music Educator. Students in First Grade and Second Grade come to Music class once a week for 45 minutes. Students in Kindergarten come to Music class once a week for 30 minutes. Students are exposed to and experience the elements of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, form, style) while they SING, DANCE, PLAY, LISTEN TO and CREATE music. The Colchester Music Curriculum is based on the nine National Standards for Music Education. For more information on the National Standards, visit the Music Educator's National Conference site:
Students experience and participate in whole-school assemblies each month. One feature at most of these assemblies is the singing of our school song, "Glad To Be Here." All students also participate in our annual whole school sing-along in December, featuring multicultural songs from around the world.
Union Memorial School holds at least one evening musical performance each year for family, friends and the community. These performances are held at Colchester High School in the Theatre. Because of the size of our student population, half of the school performs one night and the other half of the school performs the other night. We are very fortunate to have access to the Theatre at Colchester High School for these performances. It is an event not to be missed!
A local resource for people seeking private music instruction for themselves or their children is the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association. For more information on music teachers, music stores, repair shops, and more, visit their site:
