A little about ourselves
Welcome to Music at Pinecrest Elementary in Hastings, Minnesota! Pinecrest is a K-4 Elementary School serving the greater Hastings Community as part of School District 200. Each student in grades Kindergarten-4th Grade receives 27 minutes of musical instruction every other day. In addition to classroom music, students in Grade 4 have the opportunity to participate in our Pinecrest Choir and participate in an after-school guitar class. The music curriculum at Pinecrest is eclectic. Our school uses the Orff and Kodaly philosophies in our daily instruction. Emphasis on correct singing as well as rhythmic and melodic notation are stressed while we devote time for learning through play. Thank you for taking the time to explore Music at Pinecrest!
