Music at Cawthra is an exciting, demanding program. Students take part in an intensive schedule of classes, rehearsals and performances designed to improve their performance skills while widening their musical interests and understanding.
In their daily classes, students will have the opportunity to perform solo technique and repertoire in small and large ensembles and in a variety of styles: jazz, classical, pop, music theatre, and folk. They will also receive master classes, private clinics and lessons with professional musicians brought in through our Artist in the Classroom Program.
Cawthra's music program gives the students training in vital non-performance activities such as composing, computer music, conducting, theory units, music history, and ear training.
At Cawthra, music students can choose from a large array of co-curricular opportunities in small and large ensembles.
