Working Together to Select Repertoire Reflecting Their Diverse Backgrounds
Music at Westover, an integral part of our school traditions for over a century, includes choral ensembles, handbell ensembles, private music instruction, and chamber music ensembles - including a traditional Chinese instrumental ensemble. With over half of our school enrolled in the music program, students and teachers work together to select repertoire that reflects their diverse backgrounds. Participation in regional and national music festivals gives students the opportunity to engage in the wider musical community.
Private music lessons are offered in a range of instruments, including the piano, guitar, cello, violin, and clarinet. These lessons are taught by experienced and knowledgeable instructors who are skilled in a variety of musical styles and techniques.
Lessons are tailored to the individual student's needs and goals and typically take place on a weekly basis. For example, a student who is just starting out on the piano may have weekly lessons focused on basic techniques and music theory, while a more experienced student may work on advanced repertoire and performance skills.
Private music lessons provide students with the opportunity to receive one-on-one instruction and personalized attention from their instructor. This can help students make faster progress and develop a deeper understanding of their chosen instrument.
In addition to private music lessons, Westover School also offers group music classes and ensembles for students to participate in. These provide a chance for students to collaborate with their peers and perform in front of an audience. Overall, the private music lessons offered at Westover School are an important part of the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education that includes the arts.
