Music Education

Music education is available for all grades. Students learn music theory, music history, composing, and how to play and make instruments. Students practice their public speaking skills by presenting projects to the class.

 

CHOIR

St. Alphonsus Liguori school chor at the Prospect Heights tree lighting ceremony. Perfomers and Mrs. Duncan are in Santa hats, outdoors, and are standing in front of a lit Christmas tree.

Students in grades 2nd through 8th who wish to share their vocal talents may participate in choir. 

Under the direction of the music teacher practices are held after school.  The choir participates in music at every Friday liturgy, at special concert performances, and other venues around the Chicago area.  Students in choir are given the chance to Cantor at Mass and play instruments.  Performing in choir develops self-confidence and leadership skills, as well as preparing students to participate in high school choral groups. 

Contact Nesreen Duncan to schedule performances with the school choir.

 

 HAND BELL CHOIR

7th and 8th Grade Students participate in the Hand Bell Choir.  The choir performs at the Christmas Concert and at other times during the year.  Contact our Music Director Mrs. Duncan for information.

SPRING MUSICAL

Every spring our students in Fifth through Eighth grades are invited to participate in the school musical.  Students sing, act, dance, and work behind the scenes as a member of the Tech Crew.  Auditions are held in the Fall, and rehearsals begin after Christmas Break.  Our students are encouraged to explore their talents, while gaining poise and self-confidence performing in front of standing room only audiences. 

Past performances include The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Seussical the Musical, Disney's Camp Rock, Disney's High School Musical, Annie, Godspell, Time and Time Again, Pirates of Penzance, as well as many others.
