“Singing a classical piece broadened my perspective on what I believed my voice was capable of and challenged me to grow as a vocal artist.”

Music at Besant Hill School is everywhere: it is in the classrooms, on our gazebo between classes, in our formal concerts, in student-led variety shows, in our assemblies, and in our theatrical productions in our yearly musical. We believe that the study of music stimulates and promotes creativity, imaginative expression, analytical skills, organizational skills, long-range planning and even mathematics. Through rigorous study of instruments, a comprehensive understanding of the structure and operations of music through music theory and analysis, and the encouragement of self-discovery and self-expression through music, music students at Besant Hill School leave our program with a richer and more profound understanding and deeper personal relationship with music.

Performing Art Teacher
“As performing artists, we are the agents of change in our world. We give voice to the characters we play. In doing so, we find a safe place to express ourselves creatively. Guiding young performers to feel comfortable in their own skin is my passion; seeing them embrace their bliss in performing is my greatest joy.”
