Group Class & Chamber Music

Group Class provides the opportunity for students to perform together as a group.

They develop leadership skills, self-confidence, and a flexible mindset as they learn new ideas together.

Performance

Creativity & Culture

Our curriculum allows students to discover the world through music. Traditional Western classical repertoire and pedagogy are combined with music from world cultures, under-represented composers, New Orleans and American music, and culturally significant and popular music. Students learn about the composers’ lives, their origins, and historical context and significance, as to help develop a broader global cultural consciousness and awareness.
