Music Program

Ms. Gloria Savino, Instructional Supervisor
Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science & Technology
Lincoln Park
Albany, NY 12202
Phone: 462-7262

Philosophy
The City School District of Albany's music program recognizes music and the arts as an important part of a well-rounded education. It is our belief that a balanced music program consists of varied musical experiences such as singing, playing instruments, listening, reading music, and expressive movement.

Further, an effective elementary music program not only contributes to the education and personal enrichment of the whole child, but also adds to the intellectual, multicultural, and social environment of the entire school. Therefore, we believe that music is an aesthetic and global experience that every child has a right to learn and enjoy.

Purpose
The purpose of the music program is to allow every child the opportunity to develop music skills, life skills, as well as develop an appreciation for music and the arts.

Music Programs
The City School District of Albany's elective music program consists of general music, instrumental band, and instrumental strings. See navigational bar, right, to learn more.
