Students in the elementary school have music one or two times weekly. PCA follows the National Standards for Music Education. A wide variety of classroom activities including singing, moving, and instrument playing are utilized.
Sequenced instruction in the elements and skills of vocal production are then transferred to music reading and instrument playing. The understanding of music history and cultural connections are also explored. Students in the fourth grade apply their skills in playing the recorder.
Beginning in the fourth grade, students may participate in choirs. Academy Singers is a choir for the fourth grade boys. Fourth grade girls participate in Treble Tones. Proclaimers is a mixed choir of fifth and sixth grade students. The goal of these choirs is to help the students develop their vocal instrument and to proclaim the gospel of Christ.
