The Music Department of Greenwich Academy offers students the opportunity to perform in a variety of ensembles, both choral and instrumental. Traditional and contemporary literature is studied and performed in school concerts as well as performances off campus.

In our choral and instrumental groups our goal is to educate students in the rudiments of music in order to be literate and proficient in reading and performing from various historical periods and musical styles. The vast choral repertoire for both male, female and mixed voices is explored. The students sing music ranging from unison to eight parts in as many as five languages.

There are a number of opportunities for instrumental musicians at the Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School. Brass, woodwind and percussion students may play in large and small ensembles, from chamber music to auditioned jazz groups such as Blue Notes. String students are encouraged to play in the Chamber Orchestra and in recitals. Private lessons are offered on all instruments as well as in piano and voice. Students perform classical music, jazz, and multicultural repertoire as they become proficient in the fundamentals of their instrument and experience the joy of playing in an ensemble.
