Fine Arts PROGRAM

...Home of the Knights

   
  Instrumental Music nurtures a passion of music through excellence in training of grade bands and concert band.  The grade bands perform at the Christmas Fine Arts Gala and the Spring Fine Arts Performance.  The concert band does these performances as well as performances at various other events including traveling out of town or province each year.  
  Jazz Band is an exceptional opportunity to learn musical creativity through jazz and share in the love of 'jamming' to create music everyone enjoys.  The jazz band called the "Beat Nicks" also records hits on CD!  The 'Beat Nicks' perform at various events throughout the year, and also travels out-of-town or province each year.  
  Guitar:  Our Fine Arts Program also offers students the opportunity of learning to play the guitar and gaining an understanding of musical theory, chords, and intervals while exploring the music of the past and present.  
 

 
  Dance Program:  Students may pursue fine arts through various disciplines of dance developing skills in ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop.  If you love music and love to dance whether experienced or not, this is your opportunity to have fun learning and performing!  St. Nicholas has a beautiful NEW dance studio!

 
  Voice Training:  An opportunity where students train with highly skilled music specialist, Mr. Lamoureux, ad together share their gifts in liturgical celebration and in fun modern musical theatre productions.
