MUSIC
Music classes meet every week for 40 minutes in grades 1 - 5 and for 20
minutes in Kindergarten. Children take part in a variety of
activities in the music class. These are designed to help your
child develop musical skill and to know and appreciate many different
styles of music.
Singing activities include songs from our American folk tradition,
songs
from different parts of the world, patriotic and holiday songs, and
songs
that are part of music dramas. Your child
will listen to music written in many styles and will play simple
instruments.
Movement and dance are also a basic part of our program. In
addition, we have the Music in Education keyboard system, which helps
children create and learn musical songs. Chorus is a musical
group open to all fourth and fifth graders. Instrumental lessons
for the trumpet, clarinet, flute and percussion kit are available for
students in fifth grade.
