Music
Primary and Elementary Students — K3 through 4th grade
- Learn music principles and explore vocal and instrumental music through a variety of methods in class twice a week.
- One fall performance: Christmas in December
- Two spring performances: Grandparents’ Breakfast in February and end-of-the-year Fine Arts Night in May.
- In addition, 4th grade students spend the fall semester working on a fully realized musical production that they perform early in the spring semester.
- An Honor Choir, a voluntary after-school elective for students in 4th-6th grade, performs for the surrounding community on a regular basis as ambassadors of the school.
NOTE: Elementary music productions are “fully realized,” with visual and audible components, and, as with most productions that feature small children, plenty of moments that induce laughter.
