With a vast and varied curriculum based on the national standards, music students at SJF will enjoy many opportunities. From the preschooler’s first rhythms to the junior high’s choir concerts, SJF students strive to create and learn so much more than just "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge". Within the first few weeks, Kindergarteners already knows how to read basic 4-beat rhythms; by the end of 4th grade, SJF student have mastered a fun and useful woodwind instrument-- the recorder; 6th graders can tell you where in the world to find a digeridoo and how one composer (who just happened to be deaf!) changed how we listen to music.

We work hard in the SJF music room, but we have fun with games like Rhythm Simon Says and Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Soccer as well. We have a variety of instruments available in our classroom as well. For a full tour and to understand more about what we do in the music room, take a look at Mrs. Vander Woude's blog!
