Music
Students enrolled in music at Ridgewood High School will understand and demonstrate how music functions in and reflects patterns in history, society, our community, and everyday life. Students will understand the basic language of music, including reading, writing, theory, history, style trends, organizational structures, and creative expression through composition and performance. Students will have the experiences necessary to continue to enjoy and perform music into adulthood as a hobby or career.

Students are strongly encouraged to explore individual creativity and demonstrate original ideas.The Art Department endeavors to teach the fundamental building blocks of art and to foster the understanding of art as it relates to technology, careers, history and world cultures.

The World Language team, through the study of other languages, aspires to equip students with an understanding of world cultures and to develop skills to communicate in another language and improve literacy skills in their native language. We aim to have students apply what they learn to understand and work in the real world and broaden their professional preparation.
