4 Years through 3rd Grade:
Music Basics for Kids
Children's music classes at Stony Brook are based on the teaching philosophy of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze who proposed that music does not live in the ear and fingers alone, but involves the whole body and spirit. In class, children learn the basics of pitch, rhythm and musical notation through musical activities involving physical movement, singing and percussion. Three levels of classes are offered, each designed for a specific age and level of musical ability. Registration in progress!
4th though 6th grade:
Children's Choir
Choral singing is an essential part of the training of all musicians; instrumentalists as well as vocalists. The Stony Brook Children's Choir offers young musicians the opportunity to learn ensemble skills, sight-reading and healthy vocal development in a group setting. The choir studies and performs carefully chosen, age-
appropriate repertoire that draws on the music of many cultures. Registration in progress!
6th though 12th grade:
Pre-College Division
The Pre-College Division offers coaching and performance opportunities in chamber music and a rich curriculum that includes composition, music theory, and aural skills. Students enrolled in the program are already accomplished musicians in their schools who are looking for new, challenging and exciting experiences that are not offered anyplace else. Registration in progress!
Post-graduate:
Chamber Music Program
Designed for adult music enthusiasts, the chamber music program offers a supportive, non-threatening environment for instrumentalists and singers to enrich their musical experience. Participants are placed in well-matched ensembles and meet with a coach for five 90-minute sessions in preparation for an informal concert in the Staller Recital Hall. Two eight-week sessions per academic year, ability to read music is required.
