Music

We are proud to have a strong music program at Linden Meadows. We are committed to providing creative musical experiences for every child. Through the Orff process, our students enjoy singing, movement, instrumental playing, and listening activities. Music is taught three times a school day cycle for a total of ninety minutes per cycle by a music specialist.

All of our children play the barred instruments and non-pitched percussion from kindergarten through grade 5. Recorder is introduced in grade 4 and continues until grade 5. The recorder is an invaluable instrument that develops musical literacy and ensemble skills.

In addition to regular class instruction by our Music Specialist there are extracurricular opportunities offered throughout the year including choirs and various ensembles, depending on the interests of our students from year to year. Many of our students attend the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra’s Adventures in Music program as audience members and performers. Our students host musical presentations such as the Remembrance Day and Canada Day assembly, holiday concerts to name a few. Our choirs also perform in festivals outside the school. We are proud of our choirs that have received accolades and high marks for their performances.
