Music & Performance Programs

From foundational rhythm and movement to full choral and instrumental performances, our music programs grow with every student.

PreSchool – 4th Grade

General Music

Students meet with the music teacher once a week for an engaging lesson promoting musical development. This includes singing, moving and dancing, playing instruments, listening, creating, and writing.

Kindergarten – 6th Grade

Choirs

Choral training begins in Kindergarten and builds all the way through 6th grade. K–2 Choirs focus on singing foundations and posture. The 3–4 Choir develops tone, vowel shapes, and breathing. By 5–6 Choir, students are singing in several parts and navigating changing voices. All choirs perform multiple times throughout the year!

4th – 6th Grade

Band

Instrumental music begins in 4th grade with recorders, exploring the foundations of wind instrument playing. Starting in 5th grade, students choose a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument — learning discipline, determination, and time management alongside their musical skills. Band continues building in 6th grade.

6th Grade

Handbells

Sixth graders experience the unique joy of handbell choir once a week. Students use higher-order thinking skills to master 2–4 bells, recognizing pitches and rhythmic placement within a song. The ensemble performs multiple times throughout the year, delighting performers and audiences alike!

Kindergarten – 8th Grade

Musical

Every other year, the Trinity student body takes the stage in a full musical production. In 2025, K–2nd performed “Barnyard Moosical” and 3rd–8th performed “Into the Woods Jr.” These productions allow students of all ages to share the love of Christ through creative performance.


Visual Arts

Art Education at Trinity

From imagination-led exploration in Kindergarten to the study of the elements of art in upper grades, Trinity’s visual art program grows with every student.

Visual Art Program

Creating Through Every Grade

Trinity uses the Arts Attack curriculum for visual art in grades K–1, taught seamlessly within the self-contained classroom and woven into the day’s activities.

Beginning in 2nd grade, students work with a dedicated art teacher, studying the elements of art and applying them to create meaningful works. These skills deepen and intensify all the way through 6th grade.

Grades K–1 use the Arts Attack curriculum, integrated into daily classroom activities.

Starting in 2nd grade, students work with a specialized art teacher for dedicated instruction.

Students study the elements of art and apply them to produce increasingly refined works.

Art skills build and intensify continuously from 2nd grade all the way through 6th grade.
