Music Overview
All music classes are based on the philosophy that at the elementary age level, music is best understood by making it.
This approach includes many aspects of experiencing music. Singing, instrumental ensembles, dancing, choral speaking, story telling, lyric writing and improvisation are some of the many areas explored.
Focus is given to melodic and rhythmic recognition and the development of listening skills.
Performances include themes which integrate curriculum, showcase barred instrument ensembles (using Orff Schulwork methods) and use movement choreographed by the children.
All performances contain sign language.
