Music

A well-established Music Program is offered. All students in Grades K - 6 are taught general music. Besides music classes, students in Grades 1 - 3 attend a Primary Choir Practice once a cycle. Students in Grades 4 - 6 can volunteer to take part in an Intermediate Choir, Esprit, once a cycle. Two approaches are incorporated in developing the students’ musicality in the music program. The Kodaly Approach, which emphasizes the students ability to read music using hand signals, and the Orff Approach, which uses speech, singing, movement, improvisation and the playing of instruments to encourage creativity and develop music skills in the areas of rhythm, melody and harmony.
