At Salk Middle School we offer engaging musical opportunities in Choir, Band, Orchestra, and African Drums.  Follow the linked pages in the side bar to the ensemble you wish to explore.  For each ensemble, you'll find current class information, important documents, and helpful links.  The calendar tab provides information for all known performances and will be updated as often as new information is available!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Munson grew up in a musical family, and has been making music for as long as he can remember. He learned piano from his mom, singing in church, cello in 5th grade orchestra, and (French) horn in 8th grade in an after-school program. He studied music at Whitworth University and went on to earn a Master’s degree in music from Indiana University. After traveling abroad and working in construction, he is a student again at Whitworth University, this time in the Master’s in Teaching program to become a certified music teacher! He is privileged to learn from Mr. McMurtery and the student musicians at Salk this year.

Outside of his time at Salk and Whitworth, he enjoys playing horn with local ensembles, teaching lessons, gardening, playing board games and card games, the outdoors, adventuring with his wife (a music therapist at Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital!), and eating waffles and bacon.

 

 

 

 

Thank you to the Salk community for supporting our student musicians at our 25th annual Spaghetti Feed and Auction.  We had a wonderful evening and you helped our students raise over $5,000 to support the band, choir, and orchestra programs.  Thank you to everyone who helped plan the event, volunteered to work, and/or or donated auction items and food.  We could not do this without you!
