Music

Music lessons at Marymount International School Rome

From songs and rhymes geared toward the development of memory, pattern, communication and the expression of self in the Early Childhood years to the process of creating, performing, and responding to music in the Elementary School, students at Marymount discover music as a universal human activity and its connections with other disciplines.

Throughout Middle School they increase their musical literacy and develop an affective and cognitive appreciation as listeners of all genres in addition to building in-depth knowledge of music history and cultural perspectives.

As of Grade 6 students have the opportunity to choose Band or Chorus as elective courses and as of Grade 9 they may also choose the Music Production course which includes the creative process of composing through a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Juniors and Seniors taking IB Music extend their knowledge and abilities in performance, musicology and composition (using Sibelius software), as well as developing their potential as either solo and ensemble performers, or as composers.

 

JuniOrchestra

Marymount's JuniOrchestra program in partnership with the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is a wonderful opportunity for students in Grades 4 through 8 with prior or no experience in playing orchestra instruments to discover and grow their musical passion!

Yearly Performances at Marymount

Performance is a key component of students' musical journey at Marymount. Students  perform in their music class, in School concerts during the year, in School Masses, on retreats, and during some off-campus events.  

The Band ensemble performs several times throughout the school year including our Winter Lessons and Carols,  the spring concerts and Graduation. 

Advanced Band students may also be chosen as members of the Orchestra for the High School play, which usually takes place in the second half of November. They also form the core group of the Royal Winds, the School’s Honor Band. 

The High School musical usually takes place in March. The High School musical is one of the most important and interdisciplinary moments of the year for all students involved in the Arts.
