Music Awards
2018 – 2019
Music permeates the culture of our school, and group music instruction takes place every week for all students. We also make time available during the school day for students to take private music lessons in violin, viola, cello, guitar, ukulele, percussion instruments, piano, and voice. Half of our students choose to study music through private instruction.
