Make beautiful music 
How Music Fills Our Minds and More
The music program at ULS goes beyond the basics — it builds imagination, creative thinking, intellectual curiosity and teamwork. Students expand auditory skills, recognize patterns, increase memorization skills, and explore the study and personal expression of music. It is a symphony of learning at its finest.
Lower School
Play the xylophone, bang the bongos, and plink on the piano.
Sing in a chorus or belt out a solo.
Compose a song or dance to the beat.
Students can do it all in Lower School music class.
Music instruction is lively and engaging with our dedicated music teacher who leads the students to develop creative skills, explore the role of music within culture and society, and perform for parents twice per year in the winter and spring concert. Every other year, the Lower School also performs a musical on stage.
Middle School
In Middle School, students delve into the personal expression of music. The 5th and 6th graders expand their skills through singing and playing instruments, such as hand chimes, xylophones, African drums and keyboards. The 7th and 8th graders develop beginning choral skills with focused attention on sight-singing, music literacy, listening and history. The ULS Music Program is showcased twice per year in winter and spring concerts.
Pine Rock Studios
Did you ever want to be a rock star? As part of the leadership curriculum, Middle School students get the chance to form a rock band — and then rock out on stage in front of a live audience! Learn more about Pine Rock Studios in Middle School academics.
Upper School
The love of music continues into the Upper School as students may elect to take concert choir to fulfill their fine arts requirement. They can also audition to be part of chamber ensemble. Extracurricular music activities include men’s and women’s ensembles, as well as handbell choir. The music program is showcased twice per year in the winter and spring concerts.
