Music
Shaw Elementary Music
Welcome back, Sundogs!
We love music at Shaw Elementary and we believe that it is an important part of your children's education. We offer opportunities for all students to participate in music appreciation classes and perform a grade level concert. Throughout the year DRUMS, GUITAR, STRING ORCHESTRA for 4th/5th grade and CHOIR for 3rd-5th grade are offered as SEMESTER music clubs that meet before or after school.We also make every effort to involve the community by bringing musicians in to share their talent with us, or by taking field trips to learn more about what our community has to offer in the field of music.
