The Choir Program at Franklin Elementary

At Franklin Elementary, music is more than an academic subject—it is a cornerstone of community and achievement. The school’s choral program, under the direction of Kayla Spurlock, has gained a reputation for excellence in both instruction and performance.

Spurlock is a Beverly Taylor Sorenson Choral Educator with a background that includes a successful career as a published religious musician. Her classroom is known for its structured and focused environment. Discipline is enforced with consistency and care. Students are expected to meet high standards. They do so willingly, inspired by her clear expectations and the respect she shows each learner.

Her lessons are both demanding and engaging. Every activity is designed to reinforce the fundamentals of choral technique and theory. Games and interactive exercises are common, but they all serve a defined purpose. Over time, students build strong musical skills through repetition, feedback, and focused practice.

Despite the rigor, students respond with enthusiasm. Spurlock’s classroom is a space where students are eager to learn. They not only respect the process, they thrive within it. Their performances are marked by precision, tone control, and emotional expression. The repertoire is diverse, ranging from contemporary choir works to traditional Appalachian folk songs. The result is a level of performance rarely seen at the elementary level.

The impact of Franklin’s music program, however, goes beyond the choir room. Spurlock has composed a song for the entire student body called Shine. The song is now a unifying element within the school. Every student knows the lyrics. They sing it together during assemblies, transitions, and special events.

These performances are spontaneous and spirited. Students sing not because they have to, but because they want to. The music has become a shared language among them.

At Franklin Elementary, music is not just a subject. It is a force that fosters discipline, joy, and unity. The choral program, led by Spurlock, stands as proof of what dedicated teaching and a strong vision can accomplish in a public school setting.
