Music

The music department endeavors to inspire students to have a lifelong love of music—as a vocation or avocation, as a creator, performer, scholar, or listener. Students experience each musical concept within the curriculum through listening, moving, speaking, singing, reading, notating, playing instruments, following composition, and creating through improvisation.

The Lower School program begins with a comprehensive curriculum based on the music education methods of Orff, Kodály, Dalcroze, and Gordon, and it includes music fundamentals, body movement, and vocal and instrumental training (Orff instruments).
