Music

Music at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School is a key part of the Balanced Excellence in Arts. Students from PK3 through 12th grade take music classes and participate in chorus, band, orchestra and other exciting music activities.
 
Primary School

In the Primary School, music classes are taught in an interactive format to help create a life-long love and appreciation of music. Students explore basic concepts such as steady beat, group and solo singing, and exposure to a wide variety of pitched and un-pitched percussion instruments. Children dance and move to recorded selections of classical and world music. Early pitch matching and proper singing skills are emphasized.
