SSLS Music
Music is a gift from God. To develop this gift, our music classes provide children with a basic foundation in musical concepts so that they may understand, read, appreciate and perform music both vocally and with simple instruments, and be prepared to actively participate in musical activities now and in the future.
Music class time is focused on listening, playing, singing, and dancing/moving. Students study songs and compositions that reinforce grade level appropriate activities. Lessons include the study of beat, rhythm, melody, harmony, form, expression, and tone color.
Performances include singing in chapel, school musicals, and church worship.
