Lake George Central School Alma Mater Oh lake of crystal waters, Surrounded by yon hills. The mountains peaks rise up To kiss the blue'nd skies and rills.
Our high school stand upon the mound, We gaze at all her charms. God bless our Alma Mater In the Adirondack' arms.
Welcome from Ms. Nissen!

“Music education is vital to a students’ education and must be available to all students. It is the right of every child to receive the highest quality music education. Music education is a hands-on experience that engages students and provides the opportunity to be lifelong participants. Music is a passion meant to be shared on this journey we call life." - Mr. Schenk

Welcome to Elementary Music
Classroom Music
Elementary students have music class twice every six days. Students in Grades 1-6 meet for thirty minutes.
Kindergarten meets for twenty minutes.
We utilize the finest leaders in music educational philosophies, including Carl Orff and Zoltan Kodaly to focus on the main areas of music education:
Singing, Playing, Listening, Performing, Melody, Rhythm, Creating, Expressive Qualities and Movement
Music making is a hands-on approach meant to build commuity, as well as sense of belonging to something much larger than themselves.
When possible, music learning is integrated with the other arts, as well as other classroom subject areas.
The use of technology is a focus in our learning throughout the year as well.
