Welcome to the music department at Carlisle Area School District! We are proud to work with your students as they explore the arts in Carlisle. Our programs feature a variety of ensembles and opportunities for our K-12 students, including: K-8 general music, 4-12 choir, 4-12 band, 4-12 orchestra, and a number of electives and clubs in our secondary schools. In addition to our curricular programs, we have many extra-curricular events that involve our students, including: marching band, jazz band, musical, and PMEA festivals.
We are grateful for your support of our music programs and the opportunities that you help us create for our students.
If you have any questions about our music programs in the district, please feel free to contact our head teacher, Dan Schade.
