Music & Fine Arts
At St. Lorenz School, music education begins in preschool and continues through fourth grade, providing students with a rich foundation in musical skills and Christian values. Preschoolers engage with music daily, singing Christian songs, while kindergartners participate in group singing, rhythm activities, and movement exercises. In first through fourth grades, students build on these experiences by exploring concepts such as rhythm, melody, and harmony through singing, playing instruments, and performing in church services. This comprehensive approach fosters a love for music and deepens their understanding of its importance in their spiritual and daily lives.
