Neenah Joint School District Music Department

The NJSD has a long history of quality schools and the District prides itself in having a passionate focus on music education.  Several recent studies have indicated the strong connection between the arts and academic success and graduation rates.  The NJSD Music Department has a wonderfully competent and passionate staff who pledge their continued dedication to the art of music with the inclusion of music education as an essential component of life-long learning for all students.
 
All elementary students receive music instruction which include the following opportunities:
    •    K-5 General Music

    •    3rd - 5th Grade After School Suzuki Talent Education (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass)

An impressive array of opportunities are provided for middle and high school students in both the curricular and extra-curricular areas of Band, Choir, Orchestra, and General Music.
 
Please learn more about our department by attending concerts during the year and connecting with music staff.  The NJSD Music Calendar is available on this page in the right hand column.  Please confirm dates & times with your school's music staff.
