At Roland Park Country School RPCS, they believe in the importance of creating a community which sings together.

From the moment a child enters their school, to the time of graduation, music is present at every major school event.

Their skilled and experienced music faculty provides students with a comprehensive music education which includes opportunities to make music within the classroom setting, and both large and small ensembles.

Healthy vocal technique, music theory, an appreciation for master composers, and musicianship skills such as in-tune singing and sight reading, are all intertwined within the music curriculum.

The RPCS music program also extends outside of the school community as it provides students the opportunity to experience music through live performances via pit bands, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and a variety of area performances.

Lower School

Their girls are energized by two Lower School music teachers who foster the pure joy of music based on a strong curriculum of Kodaly infused choral singing and using a full complement of instruments from Orff-Schulwerk.

Middle School

Music study continues in the Middle School as students study music history, increase their understanding of sight reading, gain more knowledge of music theory and apply these skills to both instruments and singing.

Eighth Grade Singers is the only auditioned Middle School ensemble and is completely performance based, primarily singing a cappella music.

The Middle School annually attends a BSO Youth Concert to reinforce not only music history but also contemporary music while experiencing a live orchestral performance in a perfect acoustical concert hall.

Upper School

Music in the Upper School is a further continuation of the wonderful foundation provided within the Lower and Middle Schools at RPCS.

In addition to their three choral ensembles, and music theory classes, all 9th and 10th grade students take a cross-discipline music history course which works in conjunction with their respective History classes.

Additionally, RPCS has a year-long AP Music course which is also offered to any student within the tri-school community who has achieved a mastery of basic music theory skills.
