MUSIC
At Saint Patrick School, music is an integral part of our students’ growth and development. Our general music classes cater to children from age 3 through 5th grade, providing vocal instruction alongside hands-on learning with bells and chimes. Younger students in our early learning program use Uchida bells and Suzuki chimes, while older students progressively work with 3 octaves of Suzuki chimes and Schulmerich handbells, developing motor skills and coordination and experiencing the beauty of collaborative music-making. In 5th grade, students specialize in handbells, expanding their music reading and ringing techniques. Additional instruments are used occasionally for instruction.
For middle school students, we offer a variety of music electives including Handbell Ensemble, Vocal Ensemble, Music Ministry, and Instrument Building, allowing them to explore different musical paths and deepen their talents.
