It has been proven that music opens the mind to many forms of development, improving areas such as math, reasoning, etc. Learning to play an instrument or participating in the school choir can be very rewarding.

Under the direction of Mr. Fred Holmes, Pinecrest Lancaster offers four unique music programs that will inspire the students to express their creativity through harmony. Our music students have participated in a variety of performances including a relief benefit for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

All music programs meet at varied times. Please check in the office for detailed information.

Canaries
Kindergarten
This choir is for our youngest students. The choir will learn to harmonize to various tunes and perform throughout the year.

Mockingbirds

The Mockingbirds learn about tune, harmony, and composition while demonstrating their singing skills. The Mockingbirds will also perform throughout the year.

Singsations
2rd-8th
This advanced choir holds auditions at the beginning of the school year. Members will perform in the community as well as school functions.

Band I and Band II
Students may also take their musical skills one step further by joining the Panther Band. Mr. Holmes will instruct the students on music theory and teach them to play a woodwind instrument of their choice. Pinecrest provides a beginners and an advanced class.

Parents must provide the instruments and the music books. Further information regarding the rental of instruments and times of the programs will be available the second week of school.
