Our Programs



MUSE is happy to be entering its 8th year at Columbine, a bilingual elementary in Boulder. The program has grown to include small group instruction for all students on the following instruments:
-
Flute
-
Violin
-
Cello
-
Guitar
-
Clarinet
-
Saxophone
-
Trumpet
-
Recorder
We have 9 teachers, all of whom are professional musicians. We are happy to report that we have a second program in its fourth year at University Hill, another bilingual elementary in Boulder. Each program runs two days a week for two hours each day (about five and a half total hours per week). Every student studies an instrument in a small class with a 6 to 1 student/teacher ratio, and the whole community comes together for choir after instrumental classes. Our choir sings in several languages, with an emphasis on Spanish. Students work on singing in two-part harmonies and accompanying the choir on percussion and various other instruments.
