Music in Schools

This is a picture of a 4th grade music class. Miss Mary Ellen Flynn is one of our music teachers and she is conducting a music theory class. Elementary students receive music instruction twice a week. One class is theory and the other is practice with recorders.

Miss Mary also oversees our school choir and lead vocalists. They minister in our weekly chapel services as well as performing in local rehabilitation centers, senior centers and other schools whenever possible. Miss Mary also oversees our after school private music lessons.

Music is an important part of a students overall growth. We all enjoy music and these classes give the students insight as to how music is composed and performed. Music is another vehicle for the students to express their creativity and involves language and math skills. Music also fosters working together as a small or large group. Perhaps most importantly most students look forward to their music classes and their opportunity to perform and many go on to study or play throughout their lifetime.
