The Academy music curriculum offers a systematic education taught by music specialists that is designed to meet the needs and interests of children at their stage of development. Opportunities for music instruction in vocal and instrumental performance, history and theory, composition, creating and listening are made available through general music classes. Public school dance provides students the opportunity to involve themselves actively in dance as a creative art. The primary emphasis is on the creative process as a means of communication and personal expression. In the early years, students explore the body as the instrument of dance, and movement as a form of expression.
Students begin a sequential program of progression guided by exploration of movement.
Each child participates at his own level of skill and understanding in a positive and nurturing environment. The Theaters Program is designed to educate the student in basic theater skills, such as pantomime, improvisation, role playing, puppetry, set and costume design, production skills, acting, speech and performance. An important goal is the development of the child's concentration skills, self-confidence and body control. Art classes encourage creativity and individuality and develop awareness of the student's environment and aesthetic appreciation. Art history is taught so the student will realize that art is a reflection of history.
