Music
At Garrison Forest, Music is a vibrant part of campus life. Students develop performance skills and cultivate an appreciation for music through required, elective and extracurricular courses. Most importantly, our Music program promotes creativity and a sense of community.
Our Program
Students are actively engaged in creating, performing, learning about and sharing music. The curriculum combines choral singing and general music, music theory and music appreciation, and includes music of diverse eras, genres, styles and cultures. The Garrison Forest Music program exposes students to experiences, knowledge, and skills they can use to express themselves musically in meaningful and joyful ways.
