General Music In grades K-4, students attend music class once per week for 45 minutes. Students are actively engaged in writing, playing and creating music as well as moving to music using the ORFF Schulwerk model for teaching music in the classroom. The recorder is introduced in 4th grade. Lower school students also prepare for grade level class plays and the annual Grandparents Day and Christmas programs. In 5th & 6th grade, students attend a music elective every day for 6 weeks. Students continue to write, create and play through music and drama and the Orff Schulwerk approach, as well as continue playing the recorder. Students in 5-8 grade may also join the middle school chorus. |
"Cornerstone is hands down the best environment for our kids to grow, learn, and thrive. The small classes and overall school size encourages confidence and fosters each child’s curiosity to try new experiences. The supportive staff holds each and every student to high expectations and instills personal responsibility and independent character. Cornerstone truly provides the perfect balance of academics, discipline, and grace for each student and we are so grateful to have found this gem of a school."
