What have we been doing in music class?
During Catholic Schools Week, students in grades K - 5 enjoyed a combined music/gym dance unit. Students learned a variety of social dances including square dances, contra-line dances, circle dances, partner dances, and line dances.
Philosophy of Music Education
At St. Croix Catholic School, we believe that music is essential to educating the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. Performing, creating, and responding to music facilitate the understanding of aesthetics, expression, and creativity. Music encourages understanding of the historical and cultural heritage of our community and the global community. Knowledge of the fundamentals of music leads to a fuller participation in liturgy and worship. Because music is a basic expression of human culture, every student should have access to a comprehensive music education.
