Vocal
All PPACS students K-5 receive vocal music once a week for an hour. The goal of the vocal music program (based on the National and Pennsylvania State Standards for Music Education) is to develop tuneful, beatful, and artful children through various music and movement activities. The students experience various genres and styles of music from many different cultures and time periods. By the end of second grade, the students begin to develop the skills necessary to become musically literate, which allows them to read, write, and create short rhythms and melodies.
As a Vocal Music Major, the students become a member of PPACS Concert Choir. During class, Vocal Music Majors continue to develop their sight singing skills, and learn more in depth about music theory and history. Vocal Music Majors learn a wide variety of repertoire in three and four part harmony and are given many performance opportunities throughout the year including the annual Music Showcase Festival Competition.
