In Middle School music, students learn to read, understand, perform and appreciate a variety of musical styles and genres. Students develop knowledge and understanding of music terminology, vocal technique, the ability to listen to and analyze music, as well as performance etiquette and practice. Field trips to classical concerts, school assemblies with guest artists and major performances throughout the year all add to the Middle School students’ musical education at Greenwich Academy.

In Group V through VII, students have music two times each week. When students reach Group VIII, they may elect to take Chorus VIII, which meets two times each week as well as Voice Class, which meets once during a six day rotating schedule. The Middle School Chamber Orchestra is open to all students, Groups V through VIII who play an instrument and meets one period each week.

Private lessons are available to students in voice, violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, flute and piano. There are a number of adjunct professional music teachers who come to the school to teach and there are many students who study privately.

Music plays an important role in the life of the Middle School at Greenwich Academy. Many Middle School students go on to continue their music education in the Upper School, performing throughout their time at Greenwich Academy and in the many colleges and universities they attend.
