Boys have the opportunity to learn to play instruments from the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion families during their time at Allen-Stevenson in a one-on-one setting with professional performing musicians. Our instrumental instructors come to us with many years of teaching along with a wide variety of performing experiences including The Metropolitan Opera, American Ballet Theater, and other well known New York musical institutions.
The teachers work with students towards studio recitals, instrumental assemblies and their orchestral performances. Currently, at Allen-Stevenson, an estimated 200 boys are taking instrumental lessons during the school week and an estimated 100 boys play in ensembles and/or orchestra.
