The Miller Creek School District Music Department believes that music is an integral part of a student’s overall education. The music program enables students to acquire knowledge, develop skills and expand their creative potential. Miller Creek School District music specialists strive to establish for every student a lasting relationship with music that provides satisfaction, enjoyment, and personal growth during the school years and throughout life.

Miller Creek District music curriculum is based on developing skills in the areas of the elements of music, performing, describing, and creating. Music instruction uses the hands-on implementation of listening, singing, playing, moving, reading, writing, exploring, creating, developing, and performing. Miller Creek District music specialists emphasize that students learn by using a variety of learning modes and cognitive processes.          

Our comprehensive music program includes band, orchestra and choral music education. More information regarding the Miller Creek School District music program is available in the Music Handbook.
