Pacific Avenue Academy of Music

Beginning in the 2016-2017 school year, Pacific Avenue Elementary will become the Pacific Avenue Academy of Music, becoming the first school of its kind in Riverside County. Enrollment into the school will be open to any PreK-6th grade student living within or out of the district boundaries.

Music is a universal language that touches the human heart and mind. It not only affects our feelings, emotions, and energy, but music also influences the human brain.

Research indicates that music can create an alpha state for learning, improve concentration, improve memorization, enhance imagination, and release anxiety. Classical music and music performance can help the brain develop dendrites and synapses accessing parts of the brain that can only be accessed through music. The building of these extended neurological pathways can help students build better brains by deepening skills that lead to an increase in student achievement.

Pacific Avenue Academy of Music will also integrate music into daily classroom instruction by highly qualified classroom teachers and all students will participate in music performance instruction provided by highly qualified music teachers twice a week.

Music, whether through performance or appreciation, will enrich, enhance, and elevate the educational experiences for all students.
