Music

Our New Music Program is characterized by a diversity of experiences we provide in Music Theory, Vocal and Instrumental Performance, as well as in Production and Electronic Music.  Our facilities are first-class, and include several rehearsal spaces, a gorgeous new performance theater with indoor and outdoor stages, Electronic Music MAC lab, recital hall, and a state-of-the-art MAC recording studio.  Regardless of class, ensemble, or their plans in music, our students are challenged to use creativity, imagination, and discipline to realize their dreams.

The Dublin Music Curriculum

A student-centered approach to curricular planning ensures that students are provided with academic and extra-curricular opportunities of varying lengths and credit options (including AP Music Theory) to better meet each student’s individual needs and interests.  At Dublin, students can select from standard secondary school offerings like Chorus and Classical Ensemble, as well as from courses more commonly offered at the college level, such as Music Technology & Production as well as Piano Studies.  Another strength of our program is the diversity in our vocal and instrumental repertoires, which represent contemporary and classical composers from the Western and Non-Western traditions.  Extra-Curricular opportunities are also an important part of our program, and they are open to students and adult members in our community of all abilities.  As with members of our academic course offerings, all participants in extra-curricular activities get access to Dublin’s music spaces, including our recording studio and electronic music lab.
