About Music at RVES
Every student at Rhea Valley Elementary School attends music class every four days. The textbook used is Making Music by Silver Burdett and Ginn. Recordings, videos, games, manipulatives, and instruments supplement the textbook. Students explore the many elements of music (rhythm, harmony, form, tone, color, melody), compare the music of America with that of other countries, and learn musical skills to help them perform the music they have discovered.

Singing is a very important part of music class, but children also have opportunities to play rhythm instruments and melody instruments. Students learn about composers by listening to their music and hearing stories about their lives.

The objectives for all music classes are from the Virginia Music SOLs adopted by the Virginia Board of Education. Many core area SOLs are also reinforced in music class through songs and various activities.

Performances
One of the best ways for students to experience music is through the preparation of a performance. Here at Rhea Valley we perform two programs per school year:

December: First Grade
April: Fourth Grade
