Elementary Music Program

General Music: Every grade level is provided with regular music classes under the direction of the music department. This music instruction includes knowledge of the fundamentals of music, composers, vocal music, and music appreciation.

Choir: Participation in choir is available to students in grades five and six. Choir practices are held twice each week during a study hall period in order to prepare for school concerts, church programs, chapel services, and other performances.

TRIBE: Students in elementary grades have the opportunity to participate in an optional elementary choir experience after school.  The structure and participation in this program may vary from year to year.

Band: Students in grades five and six have the opportunity to participate in band. Students learn to play their instruments through small group instruction and then participate in band rehearsals twice each week during a study hall period. The band performs at school concerts and on other occasions.

String Program: The Elementary String Program meets after school 1-2 days a week and includes Starting Strings (group violin, viola, cello, or bass classes for new beginners in grades 1-6) and the Elementary Orchestra, a more advanced ensemble for grades 1-6. Homeschooled students are gladly invited to join and all students participate in fall, Christmas, and spring performances in the school and community.

Private Music Lessons:  Lessons are available during the day at LCCS. Students may take piano, organ, voice, violin, cello, viola, or guitar lessons. Band instrument lessons are also available, but may need to be scheduled before or after school. The fees for these lessons are not included in the regular tuition. Please contact the school office if interested.
