Demonstration lessons are presented for both students and parents at the beginning of the school year. Fourth graders learn to play an instrument like the xylophone, metallophone or the glockenspiel during class. This enables all children who may not otherwise learn to play an instrument the opportunity to play something. All fifth graders participate in an annual musical in some capacity. Auditions are held for those fifth graders wishing to participate in the production.
Parents are welcome to volunteer to help with the concerts.
The music teacher will confer with the parents of children whose skills exceed those of their classmates and encourage further study for those who desire it. Art classes often correspond with a current topic being studied in the classroom. Stitching, printing, painting and drawing are some techniques taught. Each child is encouraged to show their creativity. For the fourth or fifth grader who shows exceptional ability an art enrichment program is offered after school hours.
