Music Program
At Donley students experiences in music class are based in Music Learning Theory, a sequential
curriculum based in research of how children learn music. Children learn music and language in a
similar way; first through listening, then singing and speaking, then reading, then
writing. Troy Union students sing, chant, move, and play instruments as part of a
whole-part-whole approach, in which students experience music in a holistic way
as well as study its parts by learning a vocabulary of rhythm and tonal patterns.
Students tonal and rhythm aptitudes are used to differentiate instruction based on
each students unique abilities and needs.
