Curriculum - Music

Music is a significant vehicle through which believers worship God. It has a capacity to provide spiritual enrichment through aesthetic enjoyment, creative expression, and communal and individual worship.

At John Knox Christian School we study the basic elements of music: melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and timbre. We experience music by: listening, singing, moving, playing various instruments, reading and writing music. At the various levels, students engage in vocal and instrumental music. In grades 6-8, students may choose to participate in a school band where part of the instruction is extra-curricular. Instruments may be personally provided or rented through the school. Our goal is to teach the children to appreciate the gift of music and to seek opportunities to use this gift in God's world.
