First Program
The First Program Music Program nurtures active music-making through movement, singing, speech, dramatic play, and instrumental exploration. Rooted in the Orff-Schulwerk methodology, it emphasizes collaborative music creation while fostering individual creativity. Students engage with rhythm, melody, harmony, and form.
A diverse repertoire of songs, dances, and musical games introduces students to global traditions while group assemblies reinforce connections and the joy of communal singing. Programming goals include the ability to sing in tune, compose, read basic rhythmic and pitch notation, sing two-part music, listen attentively and critically to music, and appreciate diverse musical styles.
