The Elementary Music Experience
Our Elementary Music program spans from preschool at age 4 through the 5th grade, providing a comprehensive and engaging musical journey for your child. Here's what makes our program special:
Exalting Jesus: Our music classes focus on exalting Jesus and proclaiming His salvation. Through singing, dancing, playing instruments, and composing music, students celebrate their faith through the joy of music.
Musical Literacy: Starting in preschool, students learn to read music notation and even compose pieces of their own. This foundation in musical literacy sets the stage for a lifelong appreciation of the arts.
Solfege and Harmony: Students sing using solfege hand signs and incorporate harmony as each year progresses, honing their vocal skills and musical understanding.
Exploration of Composers: Students experience composers from various genres and time periods, broadening their musical horizons and appreciating the diversity of musical expression.
Orchestra Appreciation: Through interactive lessons, students get to see and listen to every instrument of the orchestra. They hear famous works on each instrument, gaining a holistic understanding of classical music.
Theatrical Arts and Performances
Every Christmas and spring, our elementary students take the stage to perform a published musical that seamlessly blends music, drama, dance, and solos. These performances are not just showcases of talent; they are opportunities for students to express themselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
