MUSIC
Cornwall Park District School encourages a life long interest in the four arts disciplines of Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Art. All children are encouraged to develop to their full potential in the Arts.
Sam Tapene is our Music Specialist. There are many opportunities for the children to discover and extend their talents in these areas. Each class has a regular weekly lesson which includes Listening, Singing, Moving, Playing and Creating. All children share their learning with their parents in the form of a performance at least once a year.
Extension opportunities are offered in the form of
- Choirs
- Orchestra
- Concerts and performances
- Instrumental groups
- Private music lessons
- Productions
