The school’s Music Program takes a hands-on approach to music learning through music literacy, theory, performance and composition. All grades have music twice a week with 30-minute classes for Lower School students and 40-minute classes for Middle School students.
There are three main tracks offered in the Music Program: band, strings and general music. The string track begins as an optional after school class in second grade and then as a formal curricular track in Grade 4. The band track begins in Grade 5.
The school presents regular performances throughout the year as a culmination and celebration of students' individual and collaborative learning processes. Highlights include the Christmas Program, the Middle School Evening of the Arts, the Lower School Spring Concert, and Prize Day.
In addition to the daily school music curriculum, there are co-curricular offerings such as a choir for Grades 5-8, which performs a fully staged musical every winter. Students can also participate in the music liturgy team where cantors sing and instrumentalists play for prayer services and liturgies.
