In addition to private music lessons (piano and violin) and a mixture of music electives, here the 6th grade students are doing a unit on music notation. The critically important skills of reading music and eventually composing are being taught by John Doan. For a tiny school we have a reputation for significant achievements in music; for instance we currently have a graduate who is a music director with “Curtains” and ‘Sweeney Todd” to his recent Broadway credits, another who is a soprano with recent lead roles in “Tosca” and “Aida” at the Metropolitan Opera, and a composer whose work with “The Light in the Piazza” won a Tony Award for the best original score. Who knows about the class of 2012!
