[quote=Anonymous]You probably have good reasons to ask for charter schools specifically. But if not, do know that all DCPS elementary schools have a trained teacher, often full time. At least in the case of our DC elementary school, that comes with different levels of instrumental music (percussion, recorder, guitar), choir, band, and an ensemble, which complements a music curriculum that is now standardized at a high level in DC. On the face of it, it'll be one music lesson once or twice a week (more for older elementary school kids) but, if well run, the music teacher has a much broader impact throughout the school and in running extracurriculars. If not dead-set on charters, I would ask around those schools that you would also consider academically and make an appointment with the music teacher. Ask specific questions, the kind I outlined here, to check what they offer and how deep (or not) it goes.[/quote]
