At FHLS students have an array of opportunities to hone their musical skills. Beginning with Kindergarten through the fifth grade, students participate in music classes introducing to them the basic elements of music through singing a variety of choral pieces. As students work on these songs they learn more about musical terms such as melody, rhythm, tempo and numerous other musical elements. Students learn stage presence while sharing their music for the Christmas Service, Spring Event, LEST and weekly chapel services.
By fourth grade students may also participate in the school band and /or hand bells choir. By middle school students have a variety of electives to choose from, focusing in on music, drama and language experiences.
