The Award Winning Arcade Music Program Invites Students to Join for the 2021/22 School Year!!
As the music teacher at Arcade, I'm always excited to invite students into our award-winning music program. Learning how to play an instrument or sing music is a life-long investment that promotes positive self-esteem, discipline, and gives students a place to belong. In our music classes, we focus on teaching all students how to become critical thinkers that are creative and can communicate and collaborate. Please take a moment to see what Arcade has to offer and let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you in a music class next year!
Musically,
Donna Pool
