We believe in helping students find their own rhythm.

St. Viator students in all grades levels enjoy music class once a week, where they engage in singing, recognizing rhythm patterns, reading music, and playing instruments.

In early childhood, the children sing songs and are introduced to basic instruments, such as hand bells and tone bars, while singing songs!

As children move into the primary grades, they encounter songs that are liturgical in nature, have an upbeat spirit, and are accompanied by a variety of percussion instruments. In second and third grade, students are also introduced to recorders. As students enter fourth and fifth grade, they learn to identify rhythmic patterns, play drums, and read basic music.

The junior high students also enjoy singing songs. Fifth through eighth graders find excitement in learning to play the guitar. Students learn the relationship of chords and read sheet music.

Every year, grades PK4 through eighth put on a Christmas production, which is musically, theatrically, and spiritually a successful and rewarding experience for all.
