The study of music is an invaluable contribution to every student’s life.

Browne recognizes the significance of the fine and performing arts, and builds a music program that engages, educates and empowers. Browne’s interdisciplinary and integrated music curriculum is designed to deepen knowledge and appreciation of music through interactive exercises in singing, moving to music, ear training, music theory, music history and the playing of instruments. In all facets of Browne’s curriculum, students are prepared for a lifetime of learning, both in music and beyond. 

Third and fourth grade students may elect to join the Junior Choir, and Middle School students may join Concert Choir, two levels of Band, as well as Guitar Ensemble. 

A successful graduate leaves Browne Academy with confidence that his or her music and performing arts knowledge base will assist in future endeavors in the arts and beyond. Topics covered include technique, music theory, cultural and historical connections and reflection. The typical graduate has knowledge of the language of music and a solid foundation of its historical roots. Graduates understand the concepts of production technique, have gained a sense of kinesthetic awareness, are capable of musical analysis and recognize music’s cultural significance.

Private instruction is also offered to students at Browne Academy. These lessons entail, but are not limited to, vocal, piano and additional instrumental instruction. Lessons are offered as an after school activity and are thirty minutes in length. Private lesson students are given the opportunity to perform in one recital per year. The knowledge that students acquire in these lessons builds upon what is shared in the classroom and in ensemble rehearsals.
