Music
SnoSprings School recognizes music as an important part of a child’s education. We believe that music education fosters community, cooperation and confidence in all students. For these reasons, SnoSprings students attend music class twice a week. Our music program aims to teach the children to understand the elements and concepts of music through a variety of fun activities.
From the very beginning, our K-Prep students learn the fundamentals of rhythm and beat through a variety of percussion instruments and rhythmic speaking all leading to melodic learning
Beginning in Kindergarten, our students learn the basics of note reading through learning to play the glockenspiel or soprano recorder. We utilize Barb Phillipak’s Recorder Karate curriculum to motivate students to improve their musical skills.
First graders continue on their journey through recorder and begin to play duets.
Second graders learn to play the alto and sopranino recorders and perform musical trios.
All students learn to sing in a variety of languages and are exposed to music, folkdance and culture from around the world.
The SnoSprings community showcases its musical talent through two Songfests (Winter and Spring) that highlight the musical learning at each level. Additional performances are held throughout the year. Check out the Songfests we’ve had throughout the years here:
