The Instrumental Music Program offers expert instruction across a wide selection of instruments, alongside exceptional opportunities to participate and perform in our extensive range of ensembles. Each student receives a weekly instrumental lesson and participates in at least one core ensemble. This program is a vital part of the school curriculum and plays a key role in a student’s educational growth.

  • Music sparks brain development, boosts test scores, and leads to better grades.

  • It builds resilience—students learn perseverance, celebrate victories, and enjoy the journey.

  • Music unleashes creativity, letting students express emotions, compose, and improvise.

  • It also strengthens social skills and confidence through teamwork and collaboration.
