Our Programs
MUSE, founded in 2015, is proud to be entering our 8th year. MUSE is excited to announce that for the 2022-23 school year, we have developed a new partnership with the Family Learning Center in Boulder, providing afterschool programming to the local student community in addition to our programs at Uni Hill and Columbine Elementary School's.
The expertise of Boulder MUSE teachers is of high caliber. All of our instructors are professional musicians, many with Master of Art in Instrument Performance or Music Education.
Typically, MUSE programming is offered two days a week for 1.5 hours each day, giving 3 hours of music instruction per week. Every student studies an instrument in a small class with a 4 - 6 : 1 student : teacher ratio.
Our instrumental programing has grown to include small group instruction for all students on the following instruments:
-
Flute
-
Violin
-
Cello
-
Guitar
-
Clarinet
-
Saxophone
-
Trumpet
-
Recorder
-
Ukele
After instrumental instruction, the whole community comes together for chorus instruction. Our chorus sings in several languages, with an emphasis on Spanish. Students work on singing in two-part harmonies and accompanying the chorus on percussion and various other instruments.
