GENERAL/VOCAL MUSIC

General Music

Students in all grades participate in General Music classes once or twice per six-day cycle.  In these classes, students learn important musical concepts and skills through a variety of activities; including creative movement, playing classroom instruments, and active listening.  In addition, 3rd grade students learn the recorder, 4th grade students are exposed to World Music Drumming, and 5th grade students play the ukulele.

Chorus

All 4th and 5th Grade students participate in a grade-level Chorus, where students learn how to sing and create harmony as a group while also being exposed to a variety of musical styles.  Each chorus performs at their grade-level winter and spring concerts.  Chorus meets once per six-day cycle.

Harmonaires

4th and 5th Grade students who love to sing can join the Harmonaires.  This group is a long-standing Springhurst tradition, and meets once per week before school, and performs at the winter and spring concerts.  In Harmonaires, students sing more challenging repertoire with an emphasis on developing vocal technique and harmonies.
