Performing Arts

Upper School students have a variety of options for courses in the performing arts. Each music class offers the opportunity for public performances several times a year; these may be concerts held at school or performances in the community.  Music classes include Concert Band, String Orchestra, Chorale and Mastersingers, as well as offerings in music theory and solfege.  In addition, students in Concert Band may audition to participate in Jazz Band which is a highlight of the music program at MKA. Whether or not they are a part of formal acting courses during the academic day, students have the opportunity to audition for an annual fall play, a winter musical and a spring production, which alternates between play and movie format. These productions involve a large number of students as well as cameo appearances from some faculty members.
