Goals

The goal of the music program is to introduce and educate Saint Ann students to all aspects of music including basic rhythm, learning how to read music, and being able to sing in tune. The younger children are encouraged to express themselves creatively through various musical games and skits and the older children by exploring vocal performance and their own musical compositions.

Curriculum

Students will receive instruction in:

General Music: a comprehensive look at styles, history, composers, instruments, music theory, etc., with emphasis on performance, application, appreciation, and analysis.

Chorus: students have the opportunity to learn to sing and develop their voice, learn music in more detail with the goal of singing in two or more voices, develop repertoire, technique, develop self esteem, and perform in concerts. If a student shows dedication in all performance, responsibility and attendance respects, she or he has priority choice for solos.

The curriculum is a grade-based curriculum that is tailored to each individual class based on their level of ability and interest. Active and enthusiastic participation will be encouraged and rewarded accordingly!

It is the ultimate purpose of the music program at Saint Ann's to give each child exposure to music, and to instill a love and respect for music, and the dedication and discipline necessary to achieve, that will in turn bring positive development to all aspects of the students' study and daily life.
