The recorder program forms the backbone of the instrumental music program and allows all students to learn to read music and play in an ensemble. We actively work to help the children incorporate instruments they study outside of school into their Blue Rock performances.

Choral ensemble work is a foundation of music study at Blue Rock and begins in a gentle manner from the first days of singing together in Kindergarten. The upper grade choir regularly sings in 3 and 4 part harmony.
