Twin Rivers’ Music curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire today’s students.  There is no substitute or replacement for music making as it relates to the positive growth and development of the human mind, body, and spirit. Music, by nature, triggers both the cognitive and affective mind. Not only does the young musician experience the input of facts and figures, but he/she simultaneously develops an appreciation for the arts.

Twin Rivers’ students have regular access to high quality arts education during the school day. 
 
Elementary music specialists serve our grades 3-6 students setting a foundation for creating, performing, responding and connecting through the arts. All TRUSD Elementary schools have itinerant arts teachers that see each student one day a week. 
 
Secondary music teachers provide a range of general music, strings, band, and choral classes.  All high school VAPA classes meet the A-G requirements for college admission.  Students of all ages benefit from comprehensive, balanced, and sequential learning in music.
