Lower School students are introduced to foundational musical concepts during music classes two times per week. Lower School concerts are typically held in December and May.

Subsequently, students in the 5th Grade have the opportunity to participate in 5th Grade Band. 

A thorough instrumental, choral, and music theory program is offered to Middle and Upper School students, with an emphasis on developing well-rounded musicians who have a thorough knowledge of repertoire.  

Middle School

6th-8th graders have the opportunity to participate in Middle School Chorus or Eagles Pep Band.

Upper School

As students get older, opportunities within HHCA's comprehensive music program multiply, with the opportunity to participate in ensembles such as Pep Band, Eagles Jazz Band, Pit Orchestra, Worship Leadership, and Upper School Symphonic Band. Many students learn how to run live sound, and develop piano skills with a portable keyboard lab to create. This heavy focus on fundamental music preparation coupled with a with an emphasis on technology, prepares students to use their musical talents and gifts far beyond their days at HHCA.  

HHCA Music students have many opportunities to perform for audiences on campus during the school year. Furthermore, many of our students -- because of their extensive training and high proficiency -- frequently perform at various events and venues in the community.  Advanced instrumental students have worked with the Junior Jazz Foundation, the Island School Council of the Arts, the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, Jazz Corner and many more.

In addition to Fine Arts electives and extracurricular clubs, HHCA offers Lessons Academy after school, offering additional opportunities to develop musical skills and learn from experts and peers.  After-school lessons in piano, guitar, voice, bass, drums, and more are taught by qualified instructors - a combination of adults and experienced Upper School student musicians.
