Students are introduced to music in a way that caters to their intuition and instinctive reactions to the sounds in their environment. Teachers use a wide range of tools to help young children tap into their expressive capability and natural joy of communicating through sound and song. Opportunities to sing and play instruments in both informal and formal settings are provided throughout the year, with a strong focus on building confidence and passion through the creative process. In third and fourth grade, our more serious musicians flourish through participation in the Lower School Choir, Drum Corps, and String Ensemble. Music is also explored through field trip and guest artists who bring professional expertise into the classroom.
