Arts Scholarships

Arts Academy Scholarships

The scope of the program is broad enough to provide developing artists many chances to perform, either in the large performing ensembles or smaller chamber ensembles, while remaining focused enough to guarantee each student plenty of individual attention. Students will explore academic classes in the areas of Music History and Music Theory as well as vocal and instrumental techniques. Participation in Jazz Ensemble is offered to those students with an interest in improvisation. All music students are required to participate in the large school-wide vocal and instrumental ensembles as well as small ensembles limited to students enrolled in the Arts Academy.
