Music is for everyone.

Our Music program explores the universality of music and its effect on people’s lives and cultures. Every musical culture in the world is valuable, and everyone can take part.

Experienced musicians and newcomers alike explore many forms of musical expression through co-curricular groups, performance courses and academic courses such as Music History and Honors Advanced Musicianship.
