Nebo Elementary School Department of Fine Arts Overview of Classroom Music Curriculum The purpose of the Nebo Elementary Department of Fine Arts is to equip students with the tools of music, movement, and technology understanding so students will think artistically, express themselves, and share in the artistic expressions of others.

Through game songs, chants, movement, and instrument playing children learn the tools of music and movement understanding so students will think artistically, express themselves, and share in the artistic expressions of others. K-5 Technology Objectives and Activities map for Music:
