Musicianship
Music has a unique ability to touch the soul, unlike any other discipline, while performance builds confidence in oneself and the power of community.
Our music program offers a variety of classes, including Music Fundamentals, Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Music Technology & Composition. Students can also choose to pursue an independent study in music. You will receive comprehensive training in music theory and performance studies and the chance to showcase your talents at various school events throughout the year, such as the Fall Concert, Winter Concert, Coffee House, Spring Concert, and more. For those interested in pursuing a music career, we offer opportunities to participate in music festivals and enrichment programs.
Under the guidance of Music Director Sarina Bachleitner, the classroom study of music and performance studies, as well as in-depth instrumental and vocal lessons, provide students with expanded opportunities to experience a variety of off-campus concerts and workshops, honing their performance, writing, and production skills.
"An educator's responsibility is to offer tools of the trade and then step back to allow students to take the lead. My role as an educator is to have an inherent love for the subject that is taught while being able to translate the knowledge to those who wish to learn, not because it is expected of them but because they are inspired. “–Sarina Bachleitner
Oh, and did we mention? Darrow is at the center of arts and culture.
