Music

• All classes from Grades 0 to 7 have two music periods per week taken by our full-time music teacher, where the children are taught basic principles of music and music reading.
• Attention is given to rhythmic as well as melodic development by means of physical activities such as clapping, marching, games and vocal training.
• The Early Childhood Development (ECD) class performs a nativity play in the third term and Grades 1 and 2 produce a children’s musical. 
• From Grade 4 onwards pupils learn music theory and how to play recorders.
• Every child participates in at least one major production per year.
Grades 3 to 5 have their production in the middle of the year.  This is always a fun time and parents enthusiastically help with setting the stage and making the costumes.
• Our Grade 7 classes always have their major production towards the end of the year.
• All grades from 1 to 7 participate in the yearly Eisteddfod. We always enter five choirs, soloists in vocals, piano, violin, flute, cello and marimba items. This is followed by.  our annual Eisteddfod Concert at the end of the first term, where parents and guests are invited to an evening of song and instrumental music.
• We have a school orchestra, which participates, in our school concerts.
• Our yearly Christmas Carol Concert takes place in the last week of the third term.  All children from Grades 3 to 7 take part in this massed choir event. 
Music is a gift from God!
Only the best musical experience is good enough for our children.
