Welcome
to the Music Department here in Graves
Hall!
For
all students at Phillips Academy music is part of the curriculum
at some time in their career. The great number of ensembles, choral
and instrumental, offer performance opportunities to students at
whatever their level of expertise. Students can come here with years
of experience playing an instrument and find themselves among students
with similar musical backgrounds. Equally, a student can come here
with no experience whatever and find exciting opportunities to make
music in a variety of settings.
With nine residents faculty and 28 adjunct faculty in our department,
there is exceptionally strong professional support for every kind
of musical endeavor, whether it is music theory classes,
a cappellasinging groups, work in the electronic music
studio, African drumming or just taking lessons on one of the multitude
of instruments taught on campus. The performance program, enriched
by classroom study for all students, offers between 60 and 70 concerts
a year, all open to the public.
Please tour our Web pages for more information about the music program.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth Aureden, Chair of the Music Department |
