Music

Music is one of the Seven Liberal Arts and yet, too frequently, it is relegated to an extra-curricular opportunity. At Northfield, music is the language that all people can speak to each other, and as we communicate musically, we accomplish our work of understanding one another. We all study music, whether performance or theory.

Northfield School develops the general study of music into the specific and more demanding work of instrumental and choral ensemble opportunities. Our Music Monday program strives to give our community a fluency in the language of music by offering terms that help us build a musical glossary, so that we might appreciate the performance of music as a creative act in which we all participate.
