The tradition of praising and worshiping God through music has its roots in the Old Testament. Music provides a powerful avenue for expressing thoughts and feelings to one another and to the Lord. The whole range of human emotions, from the most joyous celebration to the deepest grief and longing, can be effectively shared through music. TC students are encouraged to develop their creative musical skills to their utmost potential, deepening their appreciation of God’s beauty and creativity through our music curriculum which includes music theory, choral music, and band instrumentation.
Preschool & Pre-kindergarten
You are never too young to start experiencing God's gift of music! Our littlest eagles in preschool and pre-kindergarten attend weekly music classes that focus on singing, movement, rhymes, and storytelling. They also begin to play with and learn about various classroom instruments such as BoomWhackers, egg shakers, maracas, rhythm sticks and more! Students are then given the opportunity to share their learning and joy of music through the Grandparents Day and end of year celebration performances.
Elementary Music
Our elementary students will experience God’s gift of music through singing and playing various Orff instruments (glockenspiels, metallophones, and xylophones), as well as, handchimes, recorders, BoomWhackers, drums, and other percussion instruments. They are also given many opportunities to glorify God through various performances including Grandparents Day, Chapel, the kindergarten and 1st grade spring program, the 2nd & 3rd grade spring musical, the 4th & 5th grade Christmas musical, and the 5th and 6th grade choir/band concerts.
Junior High Music
In junior high music, students continue to explore and develop their musical talents and abilities. Because we believe strongly that all students benefit from music instruction, junior high students receive a full year of music during both their 7th and 8th grade years, either in junior choir or junior high band.
High School Music
The high school is the capstone of the music experience here at Toledo Christian. Students in music are encouraged to continue pursuing their God-given gifts and talents in music at an advanced level. There are several music options that students may choose as electives starting their freshman year through senior year.
