Top area private high schools value well-rounded students. The music program at Clairbourn helps students to develop all sides of our students and complement the challenging academic program. Artistic expression and musical ability are important forms of communication which teaches students valuable lessons such as being detail-oriented and perseverance.
Instructional Overview by Grade
Preschool students meet with the music specialist once a week and participate in a wide array of music-related activities in the classroom. Kindergarten to grade 3 students have music classes twice a week, and students learn to sing and play simple percussion, string, and wind instruments and to develop an understanding of the elements of music. Grades 4 and 5 have group instruction twice a week on a wind instrument. They also receive instruction to develop their understanding of the elements of music. Middle school students have the elective option of playing in the Clairbourn Band.
Group Performance Opportunities
A variety of performance opportunities are offered to music students each year, including participation in the Winter and Spring Concerts and the Instrumental Concerts for the older students.
Morning Assembly Performers
The Morning Assembly is used as a musical showcase for students who are advancing and wish to display their progress and serve as models and mentors for beginning music students.
Through practice, performance, and collaboration, students cultivate discipline, perseverance, and an appreciation for the power of working together.
