VOCAL MUSIC DEPARTMENT

animated staff

Mrs. Amanda Cheskawich & Mrs. Carol Froehlich....Vocal Music Teachers

Music education in Mt. Lebanon is consistent with the National Standards for Arts Education. The Music curriculum is balanced, comprehensive, and sequential. It provides experiences in creating, performing, listening to and analyzing music.  

Vocal music is a standards based program using the singing voice as the primary instrument through which children learn the concepts of rhythm, melody, harmony, form, tone color and musical expression. To reinforce the singing there is movement, singing games, playing tuned and untuned percussion instruments, reading and writing notes as well as active listening to various styles and genres of music. 

All students will be exposed to current computer software to supplement and enhance classroom activities.  This is used on an ongoing basis which enriches the music curriculum.  Exceptional students, to the fullest extent possible, will have the opportunity to participate in music on the same basis as other students.

The District recognizes the collaborative role of certified music specialists to implement the curriculum.





The schedule for Vocal Music is: Primary - 30 min. twice a week

                                                   Intermediate - 30 min. twice a week

Building chorus meets once per week for 30 minutes.
