+ Music

(Two 30-minute classes per week)

In Beginners music, students are exposed to a wide variety of musical experiences including singing, dancing, listening, and playing age-appropriate rhythm instruments. Through song, movement, and play, they begin the process of becoming “tuneful, beautiful, and artful” musicians. Students are introduced to the diversity in music by learning songs in different languages and listening to selections from different cultures. 

As in the other grades, students gain familiarity with a variety of songs for weekly Lower School assemblies, as well as holidays and special events, including the Gratitude Assembly, the Black History Assembly, May Day, and Closing Day.
