Join Mount Saint Charles Academy to be inspired. Our music program nurtures creativity, abstract thinking, and presentation skills, and encourages students to be inspired by their own talents. Classes accommodate students of every ability level, from beginners to burgeoning pros, encouraging them to find their creative outlets.
Our music program that began when the school was founded in 1924 includes instrumental and choral music.
The arts at Mount extend beyond the stage and studio. Teachers incorporate arts into interdisciplinary lessons on cultural awareness, heritage, and diversity. Our student musicians share their talents with the community. Music is a medium of communication; a way of connecting through melody and harmony and verse. It inspires players and listeners alike. At Mount we nurture every student’s gifts and encourage them to follow the road of their passion.
