Deep Roots. Clear Discipline. Lifelong Preparation.

At Immanuel Lutheran School, music is a core discipline. Led by our Director of Music “Kantor” Oyeniran Oyedeji, who holds a Master of Arts in Music and Music Education, our program delivers a structured, classical foundation in vocal technique, music reading, history, and ensemble performance.

We don't settle for surface-level sing-alongs. We build real musical literacy - training minds and voices where students understand how music works, how to perform it with confidence, and how to carry those skills forward into high school, college, and beyond.

The Three Pillars: Learn. Apply. Ready.

LEARN: Train the Mind and Voice

Musicianship starts with understanding. Under professional direction, students build essential skills step by step:

Music Literacy & Vocal Technique: Students learn to read music, understand sight notation, and develop proper vocal skills and technique - both individually and in group settings.

Theory, History & Composers: Students explore the origins of song and study the historic composers who shaped Western music across centuries.

Classical & Latin Integration: Because Immanuel Lutheran School grounds students in a Classical Christian curriculum, our music program connects directly with Latin studies. As students learn Latin in the classroom, they sing in Latin during chapel and choir - gaining direct access to centuries of sacred choral masterworks.

APPLY: Put Learning into Practice

Learning takes hold when students actively use what they’ve gained:

Chapel & Sunday Worship: Students apply their vocal training during daily chapel services and Sunday worship—whether at Immanuel or their family's home church.

School Programs & Performance: Music connects across our school calendar - from our Christmas programs and Drama Club collaborations to honoring guests at our annual Veteran’s Day event.

Ensembles & Instrumentation: Students participate directly in classroom choirs, small vocal groups, solo performances, handbells, and chimes to build hands-on rhythm and performance experience.

READY: Prepared for the Future

Everything taught at Immanuel Lutheran School is designed to stay with students far past 8th-grade graduation:

High School, College & Vocations: By establishing sight-reading, theory, and performance confidence early, our graduates are ready to step into high school ensembles, collegiate programs, or even pursue a professional vocation in music.

The Ultimate Outcome: We aim to instill a lifelong love and appreciation of music - creating confident singers, musicians, and instrumentalists.
