The music program in the elementary school is directed toward developing the abil- ity to sing, to develop a repertoire of songs to be enjoyed by the individual and group, and to develop a sense of rhythm and appre- ciation for good music in general. The first two grade levels learn songs, the scale and rhythm band activities. More time is devoted to sight-reading and performing in grades 3 QI three and four as well as some two-part sing- ing. In grades 5 and 6 songs from countries around the World are taught, including more advanced rhythm patterns. Two and even three-part singing is developed to provide elementary choral training in preparation for choral singing in high school. Listening to various types of music is included in all grades.

M'--, N-tm With A Song In Your Heort was JUNIOR HIGH MUSIC The junior High School music classes are the training ground for the members of the official Imperial School chorus, the Imperial Choraliers. To give them a really solid musical back- ground the students begin learning rudiments of music notation and receive a good start in the mechanics of reading music, an ability which will prove invaluable in high school and college. The training in addition to three and four- part singing in a wide variety of song types assures fine music in the future as Well as balanced, cultured junior High school stud- ents. SENIOR HIGH MUSIC The Imperial Choraliers, official chorus of Imperial Schools, saw a busy year of musical activities in 1965-1966. Biting off a big chunk of artistic endeavor they dug in and with much toil and sweat produced a lively, com- ical version of the Gilbert and Sullivan Oper- etta The Pirates of Penzance. In addition, the students sang several times in the South- ern California area Churches providing in- spiring music and a fine example for the church brethren.
