Napa Christian Campus of Education

Music

The Music Department of Napa Christian Campus of Education is interested in developing an appreciation for the Fine Arts in all our students, specifically in the area of music. We attempt to achieve this through the following goals:

• Advancement of musical understanding (theory)
• Advancement of musical appreciation (knowledge of music history, composers, and great works of music)
• Development of performing facility (skill)
• Development of musical independence
• Greater identification with music as a medium for human expression

Beyond the above goals are three major beliefs that are central to our Music Department:

• First, music is a window through which the Holy Spirit can communicate with us.
• Secondly, music is a vehicle we may use to share the love of Christ with others.
• Thirdly, we consider our musical performances not as entertainment, but as a music ministry.

Napa Christian Music Department provides the following opportunities for our students:

• Choral Experience for all Students
• Hand Chimes for Students in Grades 7 – 8
• String Groups for Students in Grades K – 12
• Piano Lessons for Students in Grades K – 12

Mr. Miller's Musical Musings -- Fall, 2009-2010

Hey, out there:

It's warn and cozy where I'm writing this--the music office at Napa Christian. We're having our first seasonal storm, and it's very wet out there.

We've had a great start to our musical activities this year. Choir went from 19 singers last year, to 29 singers this year. Handbell Choir is a great group of seventh and eighth graders, making great progress on the bells.

Our fall season of concerts has been complicated by a whole bunch of activities the kids are involved in, so our first concerts willbe our Christmas programs. Check out the calendar for the very busy schedule.
