Music Education
The Music Departments of Corley and Boaz Intermediate Schools are under the direction of Miriam Richey. Each class comes to general music once a week for a 40 minute class. They focus on the 5 main aspects of music: singing, dancing, listening, playing, and creating. Each grade has a major program presentation once a year. It is always an exciting time for students and parents as well. Boaz Intermediate School also has a choir program. Students must audition to be selected and also have good grades and show good citizenship. They perform a Christmas and spring concert and perform at other community events throughout the school year.
