Music



Children are musically immersed at GCCS. They sing, play, compose and dance their understanding of complex information that is fully integrated with their expedition content. Students at every grade level perform musicals, participate in drum circles, sing in a community choir, and perform on professionally recorded CDs. They experience music from many different peoples and places, and are exposed to a wide variety of musical forms, such as opera, jazz, and African drumming. Guest artists also frequent the school to share their talents and musical gems with our students at Community Circle. By the time children leave GCCS, they are equipped with musical tools that will help them succeed in other musical endeavors, and they have an extraordinary appreciation of music due to the seven years spent in a school whose culture values the arts.
