Our Music Programs

Music is one of our specialties and one of the things that we are well known for. Students enjoy a musical experience from Kindergarten on. Our reputation is well earned and supported by brand new music facilities at both campuses. Thanks to a genrous donation by one of our schools founders (Katherine Friesen) we have been able to invest well over    $100 000.00 into our music facilities over the past two years. This investment will allow us to continue to provide excellence in the area of music for years to come.

The grade 1-6 music program is based on the guidelines of the Manitoba curriculum. We use Orff instruments, recorders, a wide array of percussion instruments, our bodies and movement to explore a variety of different musical styles.

Grade 5 and 6 students are also given an opportunity to play in a handbell choir and spend time learning to play guitar. Our grade 1-3 choir and 4-6 choir are featured at the school's opening program celebration in October, as well as at Christmas concerts in December and a spring musical put on in May.

These are wonderful times of working together in the context of a larger musical whole. Music is an integral part of student life at WMEMS.
