At Roosevelt IB MS, we have a vibrant Music program which encourages Students to play music together, build friendships, entertain audiences and have fun!

RMS Music 2021-2022:  Every 6th Grader is enrolled in a semester-long Music class during the school year.  This course is an introduction to music, composition and Digital Music Production (MIDI Keyboards, BandLab, Soundtrap).  All 6th Graders will also be introduced to percussion instruments, if they choose. 

6th, 7th and 8th Graders may also enroll in one of the 7th Period Music Electives, either Band or Orchestra.  7th and 8th Graders may also enroll in Digital Music Production.  Sign-ups for Music Electives begin late Spring and continue through the first few weeks of school.  Once classes are full, Students will be placed on a wait list.  Please contact your School Counselor to sign-up for Music Elective(s).  If you have questions about the Music program, please contact:
