Cornerstone Christian School
Christ-Centered EducationArts
We believe that music not only develops the minds of those who practice and develop skills, but it is also an important means of worshiping the Lord. For this reason, CCS emphasizes the importance of learning musical skills through our School of Fine Arts.
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation.”
Psalm 95:1
Programs
Music Class
INFO: As a Christian School, we have an opportunity to enjoy music uniquely. Musical gifts are gifts of God’s Spirit. Musical expression is a way that God desires for us to glorify Him. Music is the creative expression of our love and praise for God demonstrated through voice, dance and instrument. The Bible explains that music is a part of Heaven. It also instructs us to speak to one another in songs, hymns and spiritual songs. Furthermore, music can be used to develop and strengthen the body of believers.
ELEMENTARY: K-8th grade students at CCS attend music class two times each week. They explore the world of music, learning the basics of music theory, vocal music and instrumental music. Our students are exposed to various instruments in these grades, including percussion, orff, boomwhackers and pitched bells. In 4th grade, students learn how to play the recorder, preparing them to learn a band instrument later.
MIDDLE SCHOOL: Music is offered to the middle school as a half-year elective.
Performance
INFO: At CCS, we have two main opportunities for students to demonstrate their musical abilities during the year. First, our students present a Christmas Musical in which a fun script and catchy music allow the audience to see the birth of Jesus as the focus of Christmas. Our second performance is a Spring Arts Night. During this evening, the students present a concert of music and drama. Check out our production of "Beauty and the Beast" HERE.
