Welcome to the Marvelous World of Music at A. X. Benavides Elementary School in Brownsville, Texas. Our students in grades Pre-K through 5 participate in Music Classes one day each week. Kindergarten through 5th Grade Music Classes make use of the online curriculum, QuaverMusic.com. It is a fun, fast-paced, interactive curriculum which helps students excel in all of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for music. Pre-K classes use movement, singing, rhythm activities and games to introduce them to basic music skills, such as beat, tempo and singing voice.
Our choir program is open to any student in grades 4 and 5. Students simply sign up at our annual parent meeting during the first week of school in August. Our choirs perform at the school's Open Houses, the Winter Program, the Red Ribbon and STAAR testing rallies, and in our annual Spring Musical. We also take a choir field trip in December to sing at several local nursing homes and the BISD Main Office.
