Bountiful Elementary is implementing the Beverley Taylor Sorenson (BTS) Arts Learning Program to provide students with new ways to explore, create, and connect classroom learning through music, according to an October 23 statement.
The program, led by Mrs. Montano, focuses on music integration by connecting musical elements with academic subjects including social studies, science, mathematics, and reading. Students will use rhythm, sound, movement, and creative expression to explore academic concepts and strengthen connections to their studies.
Bountiful Elementary classes are scheduled to participate in BTS Arts sessions every other week on Thursdays and Fridays. These sessions are intended to provide regular opportunities for students to see how music can enrich their classroom learning.
The BTS Arts program brings qualified arts educators into more than 460 elementary schools across Utah. The initiative integrates theater, dance, visual arts, and music with core academic subjects to help students develop confidence and creative thinking skills.
