At Storm Grove Middle School, we believe in “Music For All” and that music is not only a thread of our culture but plays an important therapeutic roll in the wellness of our students. We have made a goal to provide our students with disabilities the opportunity to learn music skills and perform for audiences throughout the year and for years to come.

Studies have shown that music engages both the right and left brain hemispheres and helps to build literacy in students. Our self-contained students will have the opportunity to learn musical skills, have additional support in social skills, increase fine and gross motor skills, improve speech and communication, and will allow them to work with a diverse group of students that share the same interest WHILE getting reinforcement in other subject areas like Math and Reading. These students will also have the experience to showcase their newly learned skills with live performances throughout the year.
