Led by SPS Music Director Paul Griffin, the St. Peter School Choir and Band programs offer an opportunity for students in Grades 4-8 to deepen their academic experience through learning music fundamentals and performance technique. Participating in music programs helps students’ audio and visual perception, fine motor coordination, muscle memory, and mental dexterity.
Choir
In Choir, students develop skills in performance, memorization, reading musical notation, as well as familiarity with choral repertoire. Choir members sing for school mass, perform in concerts, and go on choral specific field trips.
Band
Band offers an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of music theory, including pitch, scale, rhythm, melody, and chords. Students may choose from seven instruments: flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, or snare drum. Band meets weekly for practice and performs in a spring concert at St. Peter’s Church.
