Music
Elementary School
Music learning begins with our youngest students as all students Grades PPK to 5 spend a full trimester on music. Children participate in both choral and instrumental activities. They learn musical notation; play the xylophone, recorder and percussion; study the orchestra and musical masterpieces. Each trimester ends with a Creative Showcase performance for parents.

Each semester ends with a concert performance that is part of each student's grade in the course. Musical choices, which the students learn over the course of the semester, include choice from jazz, pop, classical and classic rock.
