students need to deepen and develop their talents. Whether they
are drawn to performance or conducting, composition or musi-
cology, we build a customized program for e
music
ach student around
our core curriculum.
At a minimum, students spend their last two years at Stuart
Hall pursuing the Music Emphasis—and those years will be
productive and busy. Students complete Music Appreciation/
History, Music Theory, and AP Music Theory courses. They
teach a Middle School music class or work throughout the year
with the Middle School Chorus or Orchestra. And they prepare
for their capstone project, which might take the form of a senior
recital, a comprehensive project on music theory or history, or an
original composition.
Students are also expected to perform in one of our school
ensembles—the Upper School Chorus, Upper School Orchestra,
Jazz Artistry, or Chamber Vocal Ensemble—and to audition for at
least one extra activity each year such as district competitions and
off-campus performances.
One of the goals of the Music Emphasis program is to help students
determine if they have sufficient dedication and talent to pursue a
career in music. Those who have found these qualities in themselves
have gone on study at institutions like the New England Conservatory
of Music, Shenandoah Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, Indiana
University, and the Manhattan School of Music. -
