“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.” Psalm 95:1
Baymonte Christian School has always put an emphasis on comprehensive musicianship, knowing God commands His people to delight in Him through His gift of music. Music Director, Elizabeth Barrett, instructs students in a K-8 curriculum that builds upon itself each year. Twice weekly, kindergarten through second grade students develop vocal, instrumental, and decoding skills through the Orff-Schulwerk approach. Third grade students also meet bi-weekly, learning the recorder as they hone their notation reading skills. This introduction to performing in a wind ensemble prepares them for fourth and fifth grade, when they each choose an instrument and perform in the beginning band. Sixth through eighth grade students comprise our pep band and advanced concert band.
