[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the biggest fan of TR but kids do drama every year and put on plays related to their expeditions. And the MS musical is cool. So not sure what that other person was talking about. Spanish teachers are generally great but whoever came up with the idea of doing spanish en masse last year really dropped the ball. That was terrible. Shouldn't relate to spanish moving forward though.

Overall TR does have very strong arts. [/quote]

An annual MS drama production does not make an overall strong performing arts program for a school. There’s no individualized musical instrument opportunities and several other ways that TR is severely lacking in arts instruction. Is it good for a DC school? Probably. But its not strong.[/quote]

Yeah - need to go affluent burbs or private for all that.  [/quote]

Anyone have any idea what the arts are like at Thomson?

I went to well-regarded suburban publics (way) back in my youth, and [b]it never occurred to me before reading this thread that not all elementary schools have kids play instruments.[/b][/quote]

I hope I'm proven wrong--but I don't think ANY DCPS/HRCS schools provide those opportunities. You are on your own to pursue for your child/ren.[/quote]

Ludlow-Taylor has all kids learn to play the keyboard as part of the music curriculum, as we as various afterschool opportunities to participate in chorus and band for no/low cost (led by the music teachers) and other music education & individual instrument instruction for a fee (led by outside providers).[/quote]
