Music

Like many things in life, music builds upon a foundation of theory, technique, and performance; all of which are needed to progress as an artist. Integrity provides the opportunities students need to further their experiences and growth in both group vocals and worship team collaboration.

K4-K5 & 1st-2nd Grades

Basic rhythms, singing together and common pitches are the foundational building blocks of a growing love for music. Each student explores these skills through their time together in a fun, worshipful environment.

3rd-4th & 5th-6th Grades

As students grow in their musicality, additional training with tonal control and pitch orientation are key. Students in this class learn how to harmonize, blend with fellow classmates and navigate more advanced techniques using dynamics and unique chord structures. A variety of rhythm instruments, handbells and other mediums will be introduced and explored.

7th-12th Grade - Music + Worship Band

Creating a worship band with both instruments and vocals is both a challenging and rewarding opportunity for ISA students. Students who love to sing will mature in their musicianship by learning to read various rhythms, worship lead sheets and chord sheets, demonstrate a mastery in vocal blending and intervals while enjoying the fun of music.

Students with instrument training will be able to run through various set lists, engage with the vocals and learn the flow of a worship band. Instruments needed: drums/cajon/rhythm, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, piano/keys and other potential instruments. At advanced levels, a unique feature of this course will be to employ the band at requesting church events/services to share their talents and minister to their community.

Note: Worship Band participation is based on availability of instrument and vocal positions. A high school level music class will accommodate any additional music students enrolled in music at ISA.
