ASM Music Program

The ASM Music Department believes that every individual possesses inherent artistic, creative, and musical potential. Our mission is to instill healthy musical habits that foster a lifelong passion for music-making.

From EC3–4 through Grade 12, ASM's music teachers nurture skilled, expressive, and confident performers across diverse settings—including solo, ensemble, instrumental, and choral performances. Our curriculum is designed to develop students who love, consume, and appreciate music across all historical eras and global cultures.

The curriculum delivers a balanced, sequential program of age-appropriate vocal and instrumental instruction. While Lower School music is a core component of the regular schedule, students in Grades 6 through 12 may pursue music via electives such as Band, Orchestra, and Choir. Aspiring musicians in Grades 9–12 can also audition for the ASM Jazz Ensemble, and IB Music is available for students in Grades 11 and 12.
