Music Curriculum at Davidson Day
Beginning in our Early Childhood with students at two years old, we integrate music, dance, and movement into daily routines, providing opportunities for our youngest Patriots to try new instruments, sing and sign, and perform in the classroom and on stage.
In Lower School, students refine their musical abilities through special instruction in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. In 3rd Grade, they learn to play recorders and ukuleles; and starting in 4th Grade, students begin participating in Band, which continues through Middle School.
In Band, students try a variety of instruments, learn to read and play music, and then select a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument to play for our school community during pep rallies, performances, home games, and special events. Our Band also performs beyond the boundaries of our campus at regional sporting events, parades, and Christmas in Davidson.
Our Upper School music program is led by the award-winning professional musicians Noel Friedline and Maria Howell. Our Contemporary Ensemble is styled in the vein of a “School of Rock,” with students delivering rousing public performances spanning the last five decades of musical innovations from Marvin Gaye to The Who to Imagine Dragons.
