Hi! My name is Shane Cole and I am the music teacher at Incarnation Catholic School.

Students at Incarnation experience Music in a variety of ways.  Regular music classes are offered for PreK-8th grade students.  Students are taught to sing a varied repertoire of songs which include traditional folk songs, hymns, liturgical music and contemporary praise choruses.  Students study the five fundamental elements of music, which include melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre and form.  Score reading and music notation are also introduced at age-appropriate levels.  Students have several opportunities to apply movement to music with the use of fingerplay, sign language, choreographed movements and circle games.   Each student learns to play our class set of percussion instruments during the year, and upper elementary students will receive introductory woodwind instruction on our classroom set of recorders as well.

If you have any questions for Mr. Cole, you may contact him directly at shane.cole@incarnation.cdom.org.

Our students will perform at various times in the year, including our annual Christmas program scheduled for December 17 at 10:00 a.m.   All of our students are encouraged to participate in the children's choir programs offered through the church music ministry.  1st-6th grade choir students meet on Wednesday nights from 5:00-6:00 p.m. and they sing at one mass per month.  7th-8th grade students sing with the Teen Choir which meets from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and also sings at one mass per month.
