Music and Movement
Music is an integral part of the Fine Arts Department at Veritas. The study of music begins with Music and Movement class in the Early Education Department in which motor skills training and development is paired with musical exposure. Exposure to music develops an appreciation in the students for the fine arts early in their Veritas experience.
 
Concert Choir
Concert Choir is an opportunity for students to express both spiritual and musical expression. Lower School choir is incorporated into the 1st-4th grade curriculum. Students learn music history, notation, and expression in their weekly classes. In 5th-8th grades, students have the opportunity to choose between choir or band. Middle School choral students expand their musical capabilities by continuing education in music history and notation, as well as learning to sing in 2 and 3 part harmony.
 
Recorder, Chimes, and Band
Students will begin studying instruments in third grade with an introduction to the recorder. Through their work with the recorder, students learn the basics of music theory and begin the process of understanding the rudiments of music. Students continue in their instrumental progression by learning the intricacies of chimes in fourth grade and finally stepping into Band and/or Choir from fifth-eighth grade as they begin their middle school years at Veritas.
