Harmonizing Education: Music Theory in the Edison School Experience
At Edison School of Innovation (Edison), our approach to learning is anything but conventional. A cornerstone of our curriculum is our music program, seamlessly integrated with our STEM-focused initiatives at our tuition-free K-8 school in Glendale, AZ. Here's how our music education stands out and is essential to our educational philosophy.
Multi-tiered Modules
Our curriculum spans a broad spectrum of musical concepts, from melodic and harmonic theory to rhythm applications and composition. As students progress through the grades, they delve deeper into the intricacies of music, culminating in small group performances that showcase their mastery of musical concepts.
Inclusive Learning Environment
Just as in every aspect of our school, our music program is inclusive and supportive. We provide individualized learning support, ensuring that every student, regardless of background or learning style, can find their place in the music room.

Integration with STEM
Music and STEM may seem like separate worlds, but at Edison, they harmonize beautifully. Neuroscience tells us that learning a musical instrument enhances brain functionality, priming students for the advanced problem-solving skills required in STEM careers. By engaging with music, students develop spatial-temporal skills and executive functioning, which are invaluable in engineering and technology.
