Music Program

February 4, 2023

At Ralph Brown School, students from Grade 1 to Grade 8 participate in the music program.

Students in Grades 1-2 are exposed to a wide variety of musical experiences including singing, movement, drama and instrumental play. Through these experiences they discover their singing voice, develop basic music literacy skills, cultivate curiosity and creativity, and have a lot of fun!

Students in Grades 3-8, the fun and learning continues with students building on what they know. learning more advanced skills and beginning to learn note-reading with the introduction of the soprano recorder and ukulele. 

Students are also invited to join the choir.  This year we are offering choir as an option for those who enjoy music and singing.  Similarly, we offering students in Grades 5-8 to join band to learn other instruments including guitar, drums, and piano.    

At all levels, students are encouraged to grow in the areas of

  • Music language and performance skills
  • Creative expression
  • An awareness of music in context, and
  • Valuing musical experiences


In December 2022, our choir was asked to send 25 students to perform for the Manitoba Metis Federation Christmas Special which was televised on CTV on December 26, 2022.  Our choir sang one song in English and another in Ukrainian.
