The program includes different elective options such as: chamber music, music technology, jazz/rock, contemporary, theory/composition, dance and visual arts. In a typical day, a student might play in a group, have a recording class or a theory class, or join an art or dance class. We also periodically have professional bands join us for lunchtime interview/performances. This is extremely beneficial for students as they have the opportunity to talk with and learn from performers.
