Music
Music class consists of singing and learning about world music, classical music, and liturgical music. World Music exposes students to different styles of music, instruments, dance, and garments from different parts of the world. Students are introduced to different classical composers and learn about their primary compositions and how to identify different classical music eras. Singing is an important part of our faith at Saint Joachim Catholic School and students learn the music they sing at Mass each week. All students participate in a school-wide Christmas program. Students who want to learn more about choral techniques are invited to join the Saint Joachim School Choir, comprised of Grade 3-8 students.
