MUSIC / BAND
Lincoln School has a comprehensive music program for all grades. 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.

Instrumental Band Instruction
Lincoln School, through the Abraham Lincoln Elementary School Music Association (ALESMA), offers a fee-based instrumental program for students in grades 5-8 during the school day. 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. There are five band ensembles for students in grades 5-8:
Through learning to read rhythms and melodies, the band program teaches the techniques of proper instrument playing in large ensembles and small group lessons. Band instruction at Lincoln is academic and fun. Students learn about themselves as they experience music education. They learn the importance of discipline, practice, and collaboration.
Annually our band students participate in the day-long Northshore Solo and Ensemble Festival held at Northwestern University, Evanston Campus.
Band thrives at Lincoln and is an integral component of our school. Throughout the school year, there are day and evening performances for the school, parents, and the community. The 2011-2012 school year saw our highest band enrollment in ALESMA’s 30 year history with approximately 225 grades 5-8 students enrolled. Our band students move on to high schools to participate in many band programs with tremendous praise.
