Music Classes at Immanuel

Our music classes in grades K-4 teach music appreciation, unison singing, rhythm studies, and introductory music theory, among other things. These classes are taught by the individual classroom teachers.

Music classes in 5th-8th grades are taught by Mrs. Elizabeth Geissler. These classes meet in our church Music Room, and draw on and expand upon the music basics learned in the earlier grades.

Manitowoc Lutheran Middle School Band
Individual instrument instruction is available for children in grades 5-8 through Manitowoc Lutheran High School's (MLHS) Middle School Band program. Individual lessons are held at Immanuel once a week during the school day, and are taught by Mrs. Renee Schmill, director of MLHS's Middle School Band program. Our band students, as well as students from other area Lutheran grade schools, are also invited to be a member of one of two bands that meet for rehearsal on Saturday mornings at MLHS: Beginner Band and Concert Winds. These bands perform in two concerts each school year.
