Private music instruction involves a 1:1 learning situation for each child.  Teachers identify student strengths and increase successful experiences.  Student involvement and progress is documented with notations in the student Practice and Progress book and also via PowerSchool.  All private instructors are willing to assist with Scholarship Auditions.  Students should inform their instructor of their scholarship interest by 7th grade.

Lessons are offered in:
Traditional Piano
Voice
Brass Instruments
Guitar
Percussion Instruments
String Instruments
Woodwind Instruments

Music ensembles provide an excellent opportunity for augmenting the skills and abilities acquired through private study, in addition to fostering musical and group cohesion.  Meeting weekly for group rehearsals, ensembles have the opportunity to participate in concerts, recitals, school liturgies, and community performances.  Student involvement and progress is documented each trimester, with reports sent to the parent/s via PowerSchool.

Ensembles include:
Band
Handbell Choir
Music Tech Ensemble
Mixed Chorus
Service Musicians

Select ensembles are comprised of students who participate in Band or Mixed Chorus and have demonstrated the ability to undertake the study of more complex music.  Entrance to the select ensembles is based on audition or teacher recommendation, and is left to the discretion of the Ensemble Director/s.

Select ensembles include:
Chamber Ensemble
Guitar Ensemble
Jazz Ensemble
Percussion Ensemble
Vocal Ensemble
