Music and Band
​
Band
Grades 5th – 12th
The instrumental music program begins in Grade 5 and continues through Grade 12. Playing a musical instrument integrates knowledge of reading, understanding, performing and experiencing music through performance experiences. Areas of focus include rhythm, melody, harmony, musical form, tone color, expression, and awareness of various forms and styles of music.
We believe God has given the gift of music to humanity for the purpose of giving Him praise and glory. Every student should have the opportunity to create and respond to all types, styles, and periods of music, and to develop skills in singing, playing, composing, listening to, and interpreting music.
Elementary and Middle School Music
K-8th grade music classes at GMS present the fundamentals of vocal and instrumental music. The curriculum used broadens the students’ acquaintance with the pleasant and powerful world of music. The fundamentals of vocal and instrumental music are presented with activities and interesting historical anecdotes. A variety of activities provide practice in listening to, playing, composing, and reading music.

High School
Our High School Ensemble is an exciting way for students to continue their musical studies and dive deeper into proper vocal technique and performance. This group explores diverse repertoire and challenging harmonies while preparing for our Christmas and Spring concerts. More than just a music class, the ensemble seeks to answer the call to sing as brothers and sisters in Christ-lifting voices in praise and inspiring others through the beauty of harmony and expression. Members grow not only as musicians, but as worshipers learning to use their gifts to serve and honor God.
