Music

The children at St. Paul love music class!  Here is more information about what we are learning.

Prek: Our school uses the Prodigies Music curriculum to teach the foundations of music at an early age.  By the end of prek, all students can sing a C major scale, know basic rhythm patterns, identify color coded notes on the staff, and play many songs on desk bells, boomwhackers, and a variety of rhythm instruments.

Kinder-1st:

Our Kinder/1st curriculum continues with Prodigies Music. All students also get a chance to learn piano basics, as well as getting individualized instruction.

2nd-4th Grade:  We participate in the Carnegie Hall Link Up curriculum, through which students get a chance to play recorder and sing with the Kingsville Symphony Orchestra.  We will also be using the Recorder Prodigies curriculum which builds upon the general Prodigies Music curriculum.  2nd-4th also get a chance to play handbells/chimes at the annual Christmas program.

All students also learn a large amount of Christian music, both at music class and at our weekly chapel services.  This includes whole school memory verses set to music and a variety of hymns and praise songs.  When possible, we bring this music out into the community, including singing at nursing homes and local events such as Bishop’s Wildhorse Roundup.
