Music
Music Instruction
At Providence Montessori, Kindergarten through 3rd grade students enjoy weekly hands-on music lessons that inspire creativity and foster a love of music. Lessons include singing, movement, group performances, and exploration of a variety of instruments—from hand bells and keyboards to rhythm instruments like drums, maracas, and shakers.
Our curriculum draws on proven methods such as Kodaly for solfege singing, Gordon for improvisation and composition, and Dalcroze for movement and eurhythmics. Students develop rhythm, pitch, and melody skills, explore musical expression and dynamics, discover global sounds, and experience the joy of performing and collaborating with peers.
Through these experiences, children gain a deeper appreciation for music and the role it plays in everyday life, nurturing skills and creativity that can last a lifetime.
This school effectively supports students with learning differences. There are several teachers trained in Orton-Gillingham and those techniques are infused across the curriculum for children with difficulty reading. For children who are academically gifted, there is the opportunity to push as far ahead as they are able to do so. The multi-age classrooms means that children are naturally at a variety of levels across the subject areas, they can help each other and children who are at either end of the spectrum do not stand out as different to their peers.
