Music
Students in Lower School partake in music class twice a week for 30 minutes. Once in Middle School, all students must still take a daily music class, and are offered the choice of choir, band, and/or orchestra. Once in the Upper School, students may elect to partake in music, either in vocal or instrumental ensembles. The school also offers a music theory and composition class.
"Jazz Band" (Grades 8-12) and "Madrigal Singers" (Grades 9-12) are auditioned musical ensembles offered as out-of-school activities for more advanced students. Winter and Spring Music Concerts take place annually at various locations.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I am advised to give her music a’ mornings; they say it will
penetrate.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
