Ukulele Instruction
Students in grades 4-8 at St. Patrick School have the unique opportunity to learn how to play the ukulele. Students learn about the history of the ukulele, how it functions, how to tune it and of course, how to play songs. Ukulele is a great stepping stone to many other string instruments, especially the ever-popular guitar. Students learn how to read tablature, chords, and popular strumming techniques. We are blessed to have a classroom set of ukuleles so every student has their own instrument in each class. |
Recorder Instruction
Every student at St. Patrick School in Grades 3-5 receive instruction on the recorder. Students learn about the origin, history, and significance of the recorder in music. They also learn how to play the recorder, serving as the perfect introduction to wind band instrument study, if they so choose. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Recorder Karate program where they earn colored "karate belts" for each song that they learn and perform. A small trophy is awarded to those passing all the levels through Black belt! Middle School Musical
Every middle schooler at St. Patrick school participates in the Spring Musical in some capacity. We incorporate all 60+ students into an hour show. Students can be under the bright lights on stage or behind the scenes as techies. Students learn the importance of script reading, memorizing lines, memorizing songs, and working together to put on a show. Teamwork and cooperation are the main focuses behind our productions! |
