Developing Crucial Musical Skills in Early Years

Instruments are used throughout the year in our Early Years music program at LCS. Hands-on exploration of Orff instruments like xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels help children develop crucial musical skills like rhythm, pitch, and teamwork. Playing together fosters creativity, self-expression, and a deep appreciation for the power of music.

Through the use of simple melodies, hymns and folk songs, Early Years music teacher Brenda Johnson helps every student play a part. Our Grade 1-4 students enjoy the Orff instruments in the music room and also have opportunities to perform in large concert settings.
