Explore Our Performing Arts Courses

Band

Students learn the fundamentals of instrumental music performance in our beginning, intermediate, advanced or jazz band ensembles. From music theory and notation to understanding musical elements, students grow in their musicianship and ability to perform as part of a cohesive group. Performances include the winter and spring concerts, concert and jazz Musical Performance Assessments (MPA), and the annual Music in the Parks trip.

Chorus

Students develop their singing voices and grow in their musicianship as they learn sight-reading literacy, vocabulary, and performance skills with our chorus ensembles. Performances include a variety of community events, the winter and spring concerts, Musical Performance Assessments (MPA), and the annual Music in the Parks trip.

Dance

Dance students of all skills levels develop dance technique and skills as they study various genres, including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary. Dancers are challenged to develop critical and creative thinking through preparing pieces for performance settings including the annual Student Choreography Showcase and Spring Dance Concert

Musical Theater

Students develop their acting, vocal performance, and staging skills as they explore the evolution of music in theater from ancient Greece to modern Broadway through age-appropriate literature. These talented performers take to the stage for in-school performances for their peers and annual musical productions are hosted on the big stage for parents and the community.
