Music Program

The award-winning Montera Music Program aims to build character through the learning, playing and performing of music, individually and together as a group. We will learn music theory, notation, composition and arranging. Our goal is to develop musical skills, discipline and personal perception as a performer, while building an understanding of the unique and important role that every individual plays in a musical ensemble, be it Band, Orchestra, Jazz Band, Choir, or Exploring Music. To support our goals we request that students actively participate in class, fulfill their written assignments, practice their instrument at least a minimum of 130 minutes per week and must attend all performances (see calendar).

Support the Montera Music Program!

The Montera Music Program serves over 400 students, with no school budget for instruments and music supplies.  Most students who participate in our music program can't afford to rent or buy their own instrument, so we provide instruments to students free of charge! 

Donations of any amount are always gladly accepted, as are instrument donations.  Make checks payable to "Montera Middle School" with "Music Dept. Donation" in the memo and mail to:

Attn: Music Teacher
Montera Middle School
