Music Room
 |
Singing, rhythm, theory, and music appreciation are taught once a week
to each class by the music teacher. Our approach to music instruction
is largely choral; we do, however, make use of many of the Orff instruments
- exposing children to areas of speech, movement, song rhythms, and the
actual playing of percussion instruments. The classroom teachers and the
music teacher often integrate music with the regular instructional program.
|
| Our students are introduced to recorders
in the fourth grade. Grade five pupils have an opportunity to take free
group lessons on the instrument of their choice (which they own or rent).
These lessons are given at designated times throughout the school day. |

An elementary school band forms each year as part of the program
and performs at the Grade 5 graduation in June.
