MUSIC
Music
Through the arts, we OPEN new understandings and disrupt conventionality with creativity.
DPSI ’s music program nurtures creative expression and inspires a lifelong love of music. A wide array of elective offerings, along with opportunities to study one-on-one with faculty, give students a strong foundation in musical technique and exposure to genres and styles from around the world.
In our study of music, we strive to be the best we can be as performers, but we also use music to deepen our learning across disciplines.
Through the practice of an instrument or participation in a chorus, students heighten their skills as collaborators, leaders and community members.
In Lower School, children receive an introduction to music through studies with a World Music specialist and learn the basics of music reading, rhythm and solfege through movement and singing, Orff instruments and percussion instruments. Beginning in fifth grade, students can take formal instrumental lessons. The music program includes concentrations in woodwinds and brass, strings and chorus. In Upper School, students may choose to add jazz or percussion to their studies after building a solid foundation with an instrument.
Our music teachers are experienced masters of their craft who bring their range of passions and expertise to their work in the classroom.
