Music

The HCS music department consists of 4 choirs: High school, Middle School, Elementary beginning in second grade, Preschool-first grade chorus. In the secondary years, students elect to take chorus which meets twice a week during the school year. The elementary chorus is made up of the second through fifth-grade classes and rehearses weekly. We have two major concerts: one at Christmas and one in the Spring. Our preschool chorus will perform a separate Christmas concert of their own. It is our goal that each program we produce reaches the community to teach them about our faith through music, as well as praise and worship in Christ.

All preschool-fifth grade students participate in music class on a weekly basis. During class, we learn a variety of things including world music cultures, different musical genres, reading and notating music, how to sing, how to play instruments etc. Furthermore, our second through fifth graders have an additional instrument class where we study and practice music literacy and build up to learning, playing, and performing with instruments. Instruments we have studied with these classes include bucket drumming, boom whackers, recorders and ukulele. Beginning in first grade, HCS students also have the opportunity to take private instrument lessons with our music teacher Mr. Caprino.
