MUSIC / BAND
Lincoln School has a comprehensive music program. The program teaches the basic elements of music through instrument playing, theory, history and vocal music. Children learn the fundamentals of singing and playing through studying and performing multicultural, age appropriate music. These activities are often integrated into the curriculum. Every student participates in the production of a grade level assembly, which integrates the core subjects with speech, drama, music, and dance.

Fourth graders learn to play the recorder. The band ensembles range from the beginner cadet band to an accomplished concert band and 7th and 8th grade jazz ensemble.

Through learning to read rhythms and melodies, the band program teaches the techniques of proper instrument playing in large ensembles and small group lessons.
