Instrumental Music Curriculum

Columbus City Schools believes that the instrumental music curriculum is not just about teaching students to play instruments, but also about cultivating a rich, multidimensional learning experience that supports academic, social, and emotional growth. Instrumental study provides hands-on engagement that requires discipline, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. An Instrumental music curriculum ensures that students do not merely encounter music as entertainment, but engage with it as an essential academic and artistic discipline. This preparation equips students to be well-rounded individuals, capable of contributing thoughtfully and creatively to society.
