Music
Music in all Grades
Starting in kindergarten, Cleveland Elementary offers progressively advanced, high-quality music classes to every student. We believe in cultivating community, critical thinking, and joy through music education.
Cantare Con Vivo
Cantare Con Vivo is one of Oakland’s highest-regarded music education non-profit organizations. Cantare’s curriculum is based on the Kodaly method, focusing on musical understanding and performance through solid and beautiful singing technique. Cantare is currently funded partially through the PTA and partially from the Visual and Performing Arts Department of Oakland Unified.
Strings
The Cleveland string program under Ms. Green is very strong, with all fourth and fifth grade students learning a string instrument (students choose violin, viola or cello). Ms. Green all teaches general music to all 3rd graders.
