INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC AT ESA

We take a holistic approach to music pedagogy. In the teaching of music we try to balance ensemble performance, solo performance, technical skill, theoretical principals and the study of music history. All students perform in a large co-curricular ensemble throughout high school. We believe strongly that playing in a large ensemble nurtures and develops a musician in a way that nothing else can.  READ MORE
