Music
We have an incredible amount of instruments and technology available for our musicians here and use it in every way that we can in our daily activities.
Our K-4 program is based mostly on the theory and the knowledge of music foundations. By the time they reach Middle School, they will have worked through understanding music, music notation, rhythmic reading and interpretation, as well as varying instruments such as piano, voice, ukulele and guitar, and different forms of percussion.
Our middle schoolers have the option between four different classes; choir, general music, and music technology & composition, and world drumming. Music Technology & Composition takes a deep dive into musical software such as Garageband and Logic Pro to create songs following different prompts. Their music will be featured at the aforementioned events as well.
