King Elementary School maintains a comprehensive music program for students in kindergarten through grade six, teaching through the guidelines set forth in the Minnesota and national standards in art and music education.

Music experiences focus on the elemental areas of music including rhythm, melody, harmony, form, timbre, expression, style and history.  Activities include singing, listening, moving, playing instruments, reading and creating.

The vocal music classes have performed regularly in holiday concerts, world folk song and dance festivals, children's musical theatre productions and occasional, other special programs of singing, dancing and recorder ensembles.  Upper elementary students traditionally experience sequential steps to part-singing, paving the way to junior and senior high choral programs.
Students in the fifth and sixth grades have an opportunity to participate in the elementary band program which offers weekly lessons and full band rehearsals.  Performances have included concerts, solos and ensembles, pep rally music, incidental program music and holiday hallway/lunch room music.  The elementary band program serves a vital role in preparing students for the junior and senior high instrumental music programs.
