2016 Foundations Talk | 1:00:36 | All Grade Levels, Art & Music
Summary
Our schools should be impacting culture by sending out the best composers, musicians, and worshippers of the coming generations. Choir, a bit of classical music in the background, and hymns during chapel are not enough. Let’s talk about how classical Christian schools are poised to serve the kingdom in the recovery of true music literacy and why they should be doing it. But with class schedules already strained to pack in the basics, how can a school also teach students to read, write, and sing music? In this session, you will hear from a school administrator and music teacher about how and why their school has structured the day to accomplish this goal from K4 through 12th grade (and it is easier than you think).
