Music Education

Music at McCaw is truly exceptional!
Our program follows the Orff approach to music education, emphasizing student creativity and active music-making. Through singing, dancing, and playing instruments, students explore the elements of music and learn to express their musical ideas.

In addition to classic Orff instruments like xylophones and hand percussion, students enjoy access to class sets of world drums, recorders, and ukuleles. As an extracurricular opportunity, students can also participate in our unique Steel Drum ensemble—an exciting highlight of our program.

McCaw’s extensive and diverse collection of instruments is one of the most impressive in the district. Our vibrant choir also brings students together to perform at school events and in the wider Henderson community.

Music at McCaw is active, collaborative, creative, and—above all—fun!
