Music we teach
Learn the tradition. Create what comes next.
Classical
A living repertoire, not a museum. Students learn the craft of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven alongside composers from their own region.
ExploreJazz
A conversation in sound. Swing, blues and improvisation teach students to listen, respond and take creative risks together.
ExploreContemporary & Creative
Songwriting, production and modern styles — including trap and hip-hop production where programs choose to offer them.
ExploreRegional Music
Music from where students live. Caribbean, Latin American, African and European traditions are core curriculum, not an afterthought.
