For Prospective Families
Making Music, Making Joy
The Lower School music program follows the Orff-Schulwerk approach, encouraging boys to experience music through singing, instruments, poetry, movement, listening, discussion, and creative expression. The goal is to make music accessible to every child while nurturing joy, curiosity, and self-expression. Students are invited to explore how music connects to their lives and cultures, and to share their talents in a supportive environment that values both individuality and collaboration.
All boys perform in one concert per semester. For third and fourth graders, musical talents may also be furthered through participation in our extracurricular choral group, the Singing Bruins.
Various drama activities give boys a chance to develop public speaking and acting skills, from reading scripts aloud to participating in full-production plays and musicals. All boys also learn polite audience manners as part of their Lower School experience.
