Elementary & Upper Elementary School

At Eastern Christian, music is viewed as a God-given gift to humanity. Our music education program strives to build skills that steward this gift for God’s glory. Our curriculum follows the National Standards in exploring melody, rhythm, form, expression, timbre, texture and harmony in music. Through vocal development, movement and dance, and introduction to pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments, students develop an appreciation for genres of music from many different cultures.

Budding musicians in preschool through upper elementary school gain exposure to a wide variety of musical styles, genres, languages and instruments through general music classes. Students with a greater affinity for music can begin violin lessons as early as grade 3. Opportunities to explore other instruments begin in grade 4 as students have the option to join our beginning band, orchestra, or chorus.

Beginning band students can select a band instrument to learn to play. Beginning band students meet weekly for pull-out lessons with the band instructor. After one year of instruction, beginning band students can join the Concert Band.
