• Music
    The Music Program gives students with or without a musical background an opportunity to study the important fundamentals of music, including history and theory. Students learn to critically listen and enjoy a wide variety of music ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. With a focus on writing, using technology, and developing 21st-century skills, students are encouraged to reflect and use music in an expressive way on a daily basis. Our main goal is to give all students who enroll in these courses a new appreciation for music.
