At Ventana Vista, music is woven into the heart of our school day—from joyful concerts and flash mob surprises to songs sung in both Spanish and English. Our music program nurtures confident performers, creative thinkers, and global citizens. With every rhythm, melody, and movement, students strengthen their skills in language, math, public speaking, and teamwork—all while having fun. Whether they’re learning instruments, reading music, or performing for families at school events, our students are building memories—and an education—that will last a lifetime.
The Benefits of a Music Education
Did you know that music education boosts more than just musical talent? According to Ms. Lee, our amazing music teacher, learning music strengthens children’s language development, builds public speaking confidence, and even enhances math skills!
Why Ms. Lee Became a Music Teacher
Ms. Lee didn’t always know she wanted to be a music teacher—and she didn’t fall in love with the first instrument she picked up, either. In fact, it took several tries before she found the right musical fit.

Our new Pop-sta! event brought down the house! This one-of-a-kind celebration combines pop music and pasta for an evening of fun, food, and fantastic performances. Choir students lit up the stage with their renditions of favorite pop tunes, while families enjoyed a cozy Italian dinner in a transformed MPR that felt straight out of a classic dinner theater. It was a heartwarming celebration of talent, community, and a whole lot of spaghetti!
The MPR was transformed into a dinner theatre for the event.
Aspiring pop-stas and their families had to cross a red velvet rope to gain access to the premiere event.
