Music

Trinity’s music program uniquely embraces a sequential and intentionally designed curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for all learners. An integral component of educating the whole child, the music builds on a child’s natural need for self-expression, sense of wonder, and imagination. Laying a solid foundation of musical understanding and musicianship, our program nurtures and celebrates the individual child and the joy he or she derives from music every day.

Through exploration and teacher guidance in singing, moving, playing instruments, dramatizing, and composing, students develop avenues of self-expression and appreciation. Music education promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fosters collaboration, and connects to learning across academic and cultural experiences.

Student goals include:

• Developing a mastery of musical skills.

• Building a repertoire of aural recognition.

• Developing music literacy.

• Recognizing and expressing one’s response to music.

• Appreciating music in its various forms.

• Understanding music in relation to history and culture.

• Relating to and interacting with one another through music.

• Taking risks and learning from successes and failures.

• Performing for an audience.
