Music
For the Love of Music
Every year, our musicians and singers are selected to perform at district and state levels, and our musicians are ranked among the top in Louisiana.
We believe strongly that music provides students the opportunity to experience personal growth as well as the satisfaction derived from cooperative effort. Taught by practicing musicians, students interested in music may apply any of the music courses to their fine art requirements, such as orchestra, band, jazz band, chorale, or advanced chorale.
In our dynamic music program, students excel in orchestra, band, jazz band, chorale, and advanced chorale – and even compete in events such as the Louisiana Music Educators’ Honor Bands, Orchestras, and Choruses; and the American Choral Directors Association’s All-State and Southern Regional Honor Choruses.
Music in Lower School
The lower school music curriculum is based on the Orff-Schulwerk philosophy that builds music concepts and skills while involving children in movement, speech, rhythm, singing, playing instruments, and improvisation. All Country Day students take music throughout Lower School, and some will pursue a deeper commitment in chorus, band, or orchestra. We offer a full program of choral and instrumental music, including Little Group, bands, orchestra, and Orff ensemble.
Musicians in the Making
In Middle School, students expand on fundamentals, refining their skills in band, orchestra, percussion ensemble, and chorus.
In Upper School, students broaden their creative horizons with band, orchestra, advanced chorale, and Honors Music.
