The
Preschool and Elementary Music Department offers students
an opportunity to explore the many aspects of music. Some
of the interesting topics covered in the music classes are
music theory, instruments of the orchestra, composers, music
from around the world, and musicians from the 20th century
until now. Several performance opportunities are offered throughout
the year.
Fourth
and Fifth graders may participate in our elementary performing
chorus, The
Knightingales, which rehearses
after school once a week. Selected fifth grade
students have the opportunity to join a 5th grade
ensemble. Both of these groups are featured in special performances
throughout the year.
The director of
Preschool and Elementary music is
