About Parker Friends

Parker Friends is committed to enhancing the education experience of students by supporting the music program at Parker Elementary Music Magnet.  We believe that music is essential in fostering creativity, academic success and personal growth. 

Parker Music Programs

Strings

Our Suzuki method classes emphasize ear training, memory, and a deep connection to music from an early age.

Elements of Music

This is a non-instrumental music choice in our program. Students will begin learning the fundamentals of music; rhythm, pitch, steady beat, musical styles and vocal training.  Then, add on skills in music theory, history, instrument families and cultural awareness.

Band

We provide instruments and instruction for students interested in joining the school band, offering a diverse range of wind, brass, and percussion instruments.

Piano

Our piano program offers students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of piano playing, from basic techniques to advanced pieces.

Guitar

Guitar classes teach students both classical and contemporary styles, fostering a love for music and performance.

Chorus

Our choral program encourages students to explore their vocal talents, learn harmony, and perform in a group setting.
