音乐教育
"It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High" 诗篇92:1
At Upton Lake Christian School we seek to glorify God as we 唱 and make music from our hearts to the Lord. (以弗所书5:19). Students in our music program learn the fundamentals of music theory to prepare to read and notate music, 唱, 组成, play instruments and worship. In our chapel and concert experiences we give witness to God’s love, 格蕾丝, power and faithfulness through our musical presentations.
Music is an important part of a young child’s growth and development. 我们的 早期的小学 students engage in thematic music and movement units to develop coordination, 倾听技巧, 创造性表达, and rhythmic movement to internalize the beat. Students begin to develop their fine motor skills and music making with classroom rhythm instruments and the glockenspiel. 我们的 young students enjoy a Music & Literature Program that unites a love for books with music that engages the learner with musical and rhythmic phrases that repeat throughout the story.
年长的小学 students continue with vocal development, the ability to read and notate music, to study 作曲家 and to appreciate music from various time periods and countries. Older students apply their music theory knowledge to play instruments such as the glockenspiel, 录音机, 手铃, rhythm instruments and band instruments.
