Music

PS 69Q has a strong music program for all ages, levels and interests. 

 

Starting in Pre-Kindergarten and continuing through to fifth grade, students receive weekly general music lessons from our talented music educators.  Students develop  singing technique, basic note reading and listening skills.

 

In grades third to fifth students learn how to play the recorder, ukulele, guitar and percussion instruments.

 

 

In the third grade, students may be a part of the band or orchestra. We introduce woodwind, brass, percussion and stringed instruments and offer lessons before school.

 

In fourth and fifth grade, students may join our concert band or string orchestra and perform during the school year. They are also perform at our graduation celebrations.

 

We offer an award-winning 4th and 5th grade choir that attends many festivals and choral celebrations in New York City.

 

Finally, we proudly offer the modern rock band. Our rock band allows fifth graders to play rock instruments: guitar, bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar and drum kit.

 

All students are encouraged to join one of our groups and we are proud to say that we have over 200 children involved in one or more of our before or after school music programs. Please visit our Music Gallery and see what our students are doing.
