Mission For The Class

Here at St. Francis the Music Program will strive to provide a foundation 
for basic music literacy and appreciation. Students experience music 
sequentially through singing, moving, playing, listening, and creating. 
Music concepts explored at each grade level include rhythm, melody, harmony, 
tone color, form and expression.

Music naturally reinforces other areas in the curriculum such as language 
arts, science, math and social studies. Because music is the universal 
language all students can excel and participate freely and equally.  In 
elementary music, we educate, motivate and celebrate all students.
