Music

Welcome to Scott Music

 For information about music curriculum in District 203, please view the information below to the district website.

Naperville CUSD 203 believes that music is an essential part of learning and all students should have equitable access to a comprehensive, cohesive, and rigorous program of study that develops music literacy and instills a lifelong love, enjoyment, understanding, and respect for music. The music program of study will:

  • Provide opportunities for creating, performing, responding, and connecting to music independently and collaboratively, while engaging in authentic, developmentally appropriate experiences.
  • Prepare students to explore, experience, and perform music of a variety of genres and styles both individually and in community.
  • Provide individualized skill development, where students can realize their potential and become college and career ready.
  • Deepen the understanding of music as a common language that bridges cultures and history.
  • Nurture a personal level of understanding, appreciation, and passion for music.

Please feel free to contact me! I look forward to hearing from and seeing you soon!

Most sincerely,

Ms. Susan Tarson
