Students begin with foundational experiences in elementary General Music, continue with Vocal and Instrumental music instruction and ensembles, and explore the digital music world of composition, recording, and production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instrumental Music Teachers<\/strong> are site-based, providing daily music instruction to students within their school.\u00a0\u00a0These instrumental directors are full time at one school. They are highly skilled, highly-qualified, certified Music Educators and direct either band or orchestra, although sometimes both as they oversee their school\u2019s entire music program. Music Appreciation and Music Theory are often taught as part of the music curriculum. In addition to the many concerts and performances each year, many directors conduct and produce a musical each year in partnership with their drama and dance programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class Instrumental Music Teachers (CIMTs)<\/strong> are allocated and assigned throughout schools across the District to provide the greatest number of students with equitable and consistent access to relevant, meaningful, and high-quality instrumental music instruction.<\/p>\n<p>CIMTs are highly skilled, highly-qualified, certified Music Educators, categorized by specializations in Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion. CIMT instruction is typically first offered in third or fourth grade and continues through high school, though in some circumstances instruction is available for younger students as determined by the availability of age-appropriate inventory. Allocations and assignments are based on various criteria including equitable distribution, student enrollment, the available inventory of instruments, adequate and safe environment for instruction and storage of inventory, and accessibility of students. Consideration is also given to establishing feeding patterns within Learning Networks to provide opportunities for continuous instruction through graduation.<\/p>\n<p>At the high school level, Class Instrumental Music Teachers are allocated in support of school-based Instrumental Music Teachers and are assigned based on their specialty and the needs of the program.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Theatre&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16px|text_align:left|color:%2322779f|line_height:18px&#8221; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-699 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/GAMPBeautyBeast-e1501623951576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/GAMPBeautyBeast-e1501623951576.jpeg 349w, https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/GAMPBeautyBeast-e1501623951576-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/GAMPBeautyBeast-e1501623951576-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/>Theatre education encourages students to explore life through viewpoints outside of themselves.<br \/>\nTheatre addresses skills that benefit children\u2019s education and development in five general areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical development and kinesthetic skills.<\/li>\n<li>Artistic development using drama and theater skills.<\/li>\n<li>Mental development and thinking skills.<\/li>\n<li>Personal development and intra-personal skills.<\/li>\n<li>Social development and interpersonal skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Visual Arts&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16px|text_align:left|color:%2322779f|line_height:18px&#8221; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-766 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/art1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/art1-1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/art1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/arts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/144\/2017\/07\/art1-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/>The School District of Philadelphia offers visual arts education for students in kindergarten through high school.
