In the Village School, young students develop music appreciation through vocal study and performance. Each year, they build upon their understanding of pitch, rhythm and musical literacy, composition and expression, with opportunities to sing during concerts. 

Upper School Chorus is a multi-faceted ensemble, welcome to all, that explores the possibilities of group singing in a variety of styles through rehearsal and performance. With a focus on both group and personal expression, we will also consider ways of listening and thinking musically with the fundamental goal of enriching the community experience at Chadwick and beyond. Each year, this ensemble will participate in at least one musical travel experience. World music, classical, folk/rock, gospel, pop and musical theater will all be explored. Choral excellence, personal vocal development and group fun combine to make chorus an unforgettable social, cultural and musical experience.

Concert Choir is an audition-based ensemble with a focus on choral repertoire, sight-singing and vocal training that culminates with a performance at The Wayfarers Chapel at the end of the year.
 

Upper School Advanced Music Composition allows our students to create music while developing critical thinking and collaborative skills. In our Mac classroom stations, students learn how to write and arrange music using music technology. Students work on pieces for the Upper School Art Show, with our dance program, and write their very own film music trailer.
