"Ms. Donnini's class has always challenged me to be the best version of myself. She has always strived to teach her students as much as possible, 但更重要的是, her kindness has slowly rubbed off on all of us. Ever since the fourth grade, I've always looked forward to attending 乐队 class, and this is certainly a testament to her dedication and thoughtfulness in the classroom.——布赖恩·鲍，20岁

North Cross School provides a solid foundation in instrumental music for students in the Lower School. Early elementary students begin with two group music lessons per week and learn to develop a sense of rhythm with their hands and feet. 学生s in first grade learn note reading and rhythm counting and perform in the holiday concert and "Welcome to Roanoke, “平赤柱”计划. Second grade students gain exposure to musical cultures and perform in the holiday concert, and African Program with Marimbas and 打击乐器. 学生s in third grade receive ukulele and recorder instruction. Fourth grade students can choose between beginning band and chorus instruction twice a week, which they'll continue in fifth grade three days per week. Sixth and Seventh grade students continue on in Concert 乐队 or Concert Choir four days per week. Eighth through twelfth graders who wish to continue in chorus or band continue in either Chorale or 交响乐团. Here, their skills as musicians develop further. 学生s are exposed to more music theory, performance and competition—not to mention more difficult arrangements.​
