Curriculum With a complete program in music, theatre, and visual arts as well as a growing program in dance, Park Tudor offers the very young student to the maturing high schooler a chance to develop aesthetic skills in a variety of ways. All students are introduced to the recorder in the 4th grade and are encouraged to continue in Instrumental music with traditional band and orchestra options in 5th grade. Our young string program is offered as a supplement to the activities of children who are strongly drawn toward music in their early years. 7th and 8th grade Middle School students may stretch their vocal talents in choir or expand their skills in orchestra or band. These groups meet three times each week.
Some students choose to participate in both vocal and instrumental classes.
The Madrigal Singers, auditioned from Park Tudor Singers, performs for organizations throughout the city. The Park Tudor Orchestra and Band each meet five days per week to rehearse and perform standard literature of many musical styles. The Band members also form the Pep Band and Jazz Ensemble. Individual skills are perfected as students work together to develop essential qualities of musicianship. Private instruction also is available in voice, piano, violin, cello and bass.
