Pre & Lower School Music Program

The Pre and Lower School music program is based on Orff-Schulwerk, a music teaching methodology that uses a "whole music" approach. Children have a variety of opportunities to experience music through singing, playing instruments, listening, poetry, movement, discussion, reading, writing and art.  The goal of the Pre and Lower School music program is to make music available to all children, to instill in them a sense of joy and openness toward music, to encourage them to share their ideas and talents, and to help each child recognize the important role that music plays in their culture nd in their own lives.
