Musical Arts Curriculum
Lower School (Grades K-6)
7th and 8th Grade
Musical Arts Electives
The music elective offerings are an extension of the curriculum and provide students an opportunity to put into practice what they are learning in the classroom. We also seek to provide opportunities that both capture the skill and interest of our students.
Below is a list of electives offered during the 2023-2024 school year.
Piano Elective
Piano students will explore improvisation, composition at the keyboard, efficient practice techniques, and repertoire building. We will develop technical and musical skills necessary for clean, expressive playing. Opportunities for public performance will be provided.
String Ensemble
The string ensemble is one of our fastest-growing ensembles and we look forward to this ensemble playing at many of our important events at school. Last year the string ensemble competed in the Southern Star competition for the first time and they will continue to participate in strings festivals each year.
Middle School Choir
The MS choir elective is a compliment to the grade level choirs. Students will be introduced to a wide array of choral genres and will have the opportunity to be challenged by pieces that are more suited for an elective choir. We will also continue to develop our sight reading skills which will provide opportunities to perform at LGPE as well as prepare student to audition for All-State choir.
