In Pre-K and Kindergarten, the classroom teacher incorporates music into the daily routine. Kindergarteners learn many religious songs throughout the school year. They also learn nursery rhymes through the reading program.

Students in the primary and intermediate grades learn the rudiments of music including rhythm, tempo, melody, harmony, and musical notation. They play rhythm instruments and learn songs and dances. There is some viewing of classic films that promote the appreciation of the uses of music in the context of the story. Junior high students deepen their appreciation for American musical tradition by viewing and analyzing the great musicals of the Twentieth century Theater.

All students are further acquainted with the Catholic culture and liturgy through the study of hymns and musical parts of the Mass. When possible, students display their own talents by performing for their classmates and school community in holiday and seasonal shows.
