The music program at The Gunnery offers a wide range of high quality musical
experiences to the interested student. For instrumental performers we have the
Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Ensemble, and World Drumming classes. For singers,
we have a Chorus, The Gunnery Troubadors and the Intensive Vocal Workshop,
where students learn vocal technique and solo singing. We also have several
classes that teach a skill but do not involve performances. Piano Skills
teaches basic piano playing. Music technology and audio recording both use
computers to create music using computers; the first uses synthesizers, and the
second allows students to record other students' performances.
The performer and the non-performer, the singer and the instrumentalist, the
jazz musician and the classical musician, all will find something of
interest to involve them in the musical life of The Gunnery.
