Elementary Music Program
-
Big Lake Schools is proud that all of our elementary students attend music class every other day. Students either have Ms. Hoover, Mr. Tulkki, or Ms. Chopard-Boge (Ms. C-B) as their teacher. All three teachers have impressive backgrounds and education in the music field, but most importantly, these three teachers have a love of music that captivates students.
