Music for All Ages
-
Our music program integrates many general music components along with helping students discover the joy of performing. Students learn a wide variety of multi-cultural, religious and historically significant music.
Every student in grades 2K-8th get an annual opportunity to perform a musical production. Some grades have dedicated grade level productions while others showcase their musical skills as part of service projects. Fine Arts are invaluable to the formation to a child's public speaking and leadership skills.
Students in 2K, 3K, 4K, kindergarten, third, fifth and eighth get an opportunity to perform a musical production all of their own. Our annual Christmas program is a highlight of the year. Every student in K-8 gets a chance to perform on stage and share the good news of Christ’s Birth!
Outside of the general music classroom, students are offered other musical opportunities such as band, choir and private lessons. -
