At Kingswood Oxford, students come to know and love music. Starting in Middle School, where an hour each day is set aside for music, students learn through participation and exposure. Our many courses, performance ensembles, and master classes provide an array of options for all levels of musicianship.

See the opportunities that await you in Kingswood Oxford’s Vocal, Orchestra, and Band programs.

Vocal Performance

Our seven-year choral curriculum exposes students to an expansive repertoire of music from around the world and throughout history, including contemporary, pop, gospel, and fusion.

The Middle School curriculum focuses on singing, ear training, rhythm, melody, and harmony. In Upper School, students’ repertoire and experience broaden. They study music theory, work with the Composer Colloquy visiting artist, and venture into classical, baroque, pop, jazz, and multicultural music.

Orchestra

Kingswood Oxford’s orchestra program introduces students to the world of orchestral music as they study and perform the classics. Through group practice, students develop keen technical skills and fall in love with time-proven classics.
