Elementary Vocal Music at Plymouth Christian Academy uses a movement-based program that allows students to develop their sense of rhythm. Kodaly Training is used to improve their ability to hear, sing, read, write and listen to music with a knowledgeable ear. Upper elementary students continue their training of melody and rhythm and add to their tools the ability to play instruments and compose.

Students meet bi-weekly for 46 minutes. All students participate in music classes taught from a Biblical worldview. The 4th-6th grade students also have an opportunity to meet twice a week to participate in elementary choirs. These choirs sing at concerts and also go into the community for outreach.

In addition to musical field trips and enjoying special musical guests, Elementary Vocal Music students perform alongside our elementary orchestra in two concerts – Christmas and Spring, where they perform a combination musical presentation including choir, band, and strings.

Secondary Vocal Music at Plymouth Christian Academy supports students musical learning at the middle school and high school levels.

Middle and high school students have the opportunity to participate in choir. In addition, high school students can also participate in women’s ensemble, applied voice, and musical theatre class. All eligible ensembles attend MSVMA festivals, both individually and as groups.

Students are given an excellent music education that includes the Kodaly Method, sight-reading, aural skills training, and frequent use of the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Vocal music students attend many performances including PCA’s Variety Show, Christmas and Spring Concerts, MSVMA District Solo & Ensemble, MSVMA District Choral Festival, caroling opportunities, MSVMA State Festivals, MSVMA Musical Theatre Solo & Ensemble, and more!
