All students at TVCS are exposed to music on a daily basis through listening to a diversity of musical genres, formal instruction, workshops with local musicians, and an annual tradition of writing and performing an all school song at the end of each school year. TVCS uses an approach to teaching music that treats music as a basic system like language and believes that every child can learn music through exposure and a gentle and fun approach. Basic rhythm instruments are used as well as xylophones and glockenspiels to foster a joy of music in every child. During the theater unit, students build self-esteem and communication skills while practicing abstract thinking, conceptualization, problem solving and other academic skills. From improvisational drama to Broadway musicals, students participate in rich arts-integrated experiences.
