Solebury School
Music
Solebury School's music program is current, innovative, and unique.
These classes are taught by highly skilled teachers who are working music professionals with real-world experience in the music industry and performance arena.
Our teachers bring their contacts, expertise, and experiences into the classroom, creating a wellspring of inventive and impactful classes that often host industry professionals.
Approximately one-third of students are enrolled in the music program each trimester. We offer seven music performance classes: Jazz Roots Ensemble, Rock Band, Elite Ensemble, Concert Ensemble, Solsingers and Vocal Performance Class. Each class has several performances throughout the year. Non-performing classes are also offered, such as Music of the 1960s, Indie Music and The Music Business, Making Music With Logic Pro, Ear Training and Music Theory, Songwriting Workshop, American Pop Music and Music of the 1960s.
Private Music Lessons
As a service to students, the music department can arrange for outside music teachers to come to Solebury School to provide private lessons, including piano, voice, trumpet, flute, violin, viola, guitar, bass guitar, string bass, saxophone, and drums. A list of music instructors is available upon request.
