The bilingual music program begins in Pre School with music integrated into classroom activities and annual concerts that introduce young learners to rhythm, melody, and performance in both languages. Students in the Lower School attend weekly music classes, learn to play the recorder, and can join the popular Lower School Chorus. Additionally, fourth and fifth graders have the opportunity to participate in the Lower School Musical, like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Willy Wonka, Jr. As the curriculum progresses in Middle & High School, classes incorporate music theory and explore the history of various musical genres, including jazz and classical music. Our older students, too, have the opportunity to shine in the chorus, the secondary school musical, or even the FASNY Rock Band. Throughout all levels, teachers nurture students' individual musical development, including supporting instruments they study outside of school. The music program as a whole creates a comprehensive bilingual musical experience that grows in theoretical knowledge, historical understanding, and performance opportunities.
