The traditions provide exposure to great material which stretches the imagination and the human spirit and fosters development of ideas, character, and values. Music is a vital part of all Far Brook traditions. Music is the spiritual fabric of Far Brook, unifying and sustaining the school with great quality. Each morning before classes begin, students and faculty file into Moore Hall, class by class. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation.
Classical music fills the air, as even the youngest children take their places.
Morning Meeting is the soul of Far Brook, unifying the school through shared experiences. We experience poetry, music, singing, tales that range from the absurd to the sublime, as examples of what is fine and meaningful, as food for the imagination, and as catalysts for adventuresome learning. Every morning the bell of the Hall would ring and we would walk solemnly into the open room and sit on the floor while someone might play a flute sonata or a teacher might read a poem by Keats. And I never realized how fortunate I was. The Thanksgiving Processional is the universal and timeless celebration of the harvest.
