• MILLINGTON SCHOOL MUSIC

     

     

     

    Hello! My name is Mr. Tony Rideout and I have been a Music Teacher with the Long Hill Township Schools since 2006. I have a degree in Music Education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. I am currently in the Master of Arts in Music Education program at Montclair State University. I am a member of the National Association for Music Education and the New Jersey Music Educators Association. I am also an active consultant for marching bands, winter color guards, and drum and bugle corps across the country.

     

    The main goal of the Millington School Music Program is for all students have a positive experience while exploring, and learning the fundamentals of music (beat, pitch, rhythm, dynamics, tempo, form, and tone color.) The students will do this through chanting, singing, playing classroom instruments, dancing, and performing various styles of music.

     

     

     
     
     
    There are five expectations in the Music Room:

     

    Make choices that help you and others learn.

    Use instruments and classroom materials with care.

    Speak, sing, and play instruments when it is your turn.

    Immediately follow all directions.

    Consider others and be kind.

     

     

     

     

     
    If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, the preferred way to contact me is via email at
