KINDERGARTEN

Throughout the year, students learn music through listening, singing, movement, and simple rhythm instruments. Music in kindergarten places an emphasis on how our bodies can create music.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

5th-8th graders grow musically as a group, learning singing techniques and music reading skills. The students are divided into four parts through voice checks conducted at the beginning of the year. Starting in 5th grade, students also have an opportunity to pick a dedicated instrument and join band. Band students receive private and/or small group lessons during the week as well as participating in a full band rehearsal. This is in addition to choir practices, in which all 5th-8th grade participate. 7th and 8th grade students also learn the handbells, studying basic handbell techniques through sacred and secular music selections.
