Music

MUSIC WITH PURPOSE

At San Francisco Christian School, music education is more than learning notes and rhythms—it’s about cultivating worship, creativity, discipline, and joy. From elementary through high school, students engage in music programs that grow their skills and deepen their appreciation for the arts.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Exploring Music with Joy
Our Christian elementary students participate in general music education through singing, movement, and listening. Students in 3rd–5th grade begin learning to play the recorder, building a foundation in reading music and performance. By 5th grade, students may also join the beginning band for their first ensemble experience.
MIDDLE SCHOOL: Deepening Understanding & Expression
In middle school, students explore voice performance, music theory, and music history in their general music classes. They also have the option to join band or string ensemble, where they further develop technique, musicality, and confidence in a collaborative setting.
HIGH SCHOOL: Excellence & Expression
High school students can choose from a variety of music courses, including band, string ensemble, choir, and music theory. These courses not only fulfill fine arts graduation requirements, but also encourage students to refine their craft and express their faith through music.

SHARING GIFTS WITH THE COMMUNITY

Students at every level have opportunities to showcase their growth through school programs, fine arts festivals, and community outreach events—including performances at local nursing homes. These moments allow students to bless others and glorify God with their musical talents.
