Discover the Power of Music!

The instrumental music program at The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts provides students with comprehensive preparation in instrumental music. Students participate in a variety of performing ensembles, receive weekly private music lessons, and study music theory and literature. Students can elect in their junior and senior years to study piano, music technology, and conducting. All BISFA students participate in numerous Master Classes and have the opportunity to perform individually as soloists and in Commercial/Jazz Band, concert band, orchestra and chamber ensembles.
