Since we have been created with one of the finest musical instruments, our voices, singing and music are important part of our students lives at LCES.
When students are introduced to a wide variety of good music, they will understand and enjoy new and different sounding music even if it is unfamiliar. It is critical that students are taught to discern and evaluate what makes music is good.
In the primary grades we concentrate on singing, rhythm, and beat, using some rhythm instruments as well as the "Music Play" curriculum. In the junior grades we continue with this and hope to accomplish part singing. The recorder is played in grade five. Grades six, seven and eight students participate in a concert band program using the "Standards of Excellence" series by Bruce Pearson.
Once each year we put on a major dramatic or musical program at Christmas and/or Easter. All students are involved in this production.
Many of our students also participate in piano lessons at the school. Piano teachers are available and take students at a convenient time for instruction. Piano lessons are arranged between the parents and piano teachers. For more information, please contact the school office (info@londonchristian.ca).
