Elementary Music Specialist

For your consideration, we have two Elementary Music Specialist postions open at this time. One is at Brook Ave (https://bae.wacoisd.org/) and one is at Parkdale (https://pe.wacoisd.org/) .

Waco ISD DOES have the TIA opportunity for Fine Art teachers. 

Our elementary music programs are the foundation for all music programs that come after 5th grade. We understand that our elementary music specialists need to be the best of the best to add to the overall growth of the district's music programs.

WISD fifth graders participate in an annual Children's Music Festival!

According to which campus the students attend, students in WISD begin music instruction either at Pre-K or Kindergarten. At the elementary level, children explore vocal and instrumental music while learn rhythms and how to read notes. Students explore world culture through storytelling, movement, song, and technology. Students also create and participate in performances throughout the year.

Our students also learn the following in our elementary music program:

Music reading and musicianship
Responsibility to self and others
How their personal choices in music compares and contrasts to the world around them
How music is necessary and enriching to their lives
How music builds confidence and knowledge across the core curriculum

Waco ISD provides for rich experiences that introduce students to many types of music.

Grade 2 – Selected high school musical performances yearly.
Grade 3 – Children's Jazz Festival at Jones Hall.
Grades 4 and 5 – Children's Symphony at Waco Hall.
Grade 5 – WISD Children's Choral Festival.
There are also special performing groups and events at several Waco ISD campuses.

Come join our special team of music educators!!!
