Arts
Where Creativity Meets Tradition
MUS offers a diverse selection of arts courses, ensuring that every student can find his creative niche.
A Legacy of Artistic Excellence
The arts are essential to a well-rounded education. Through music, theater, visual arts, and recording arts, boys learn to express themselves with confidence and creativity. Whether sculpting in the studio, performing on stage, or composing in our state-of-the-art recording studio, every student has the opportunity to develop his artistic voice while broadening his cultural literacy.
- Music Performance – A cappella choir, studio band, orchestra, jazz band, percussion ensemble, and drumline.
- Theater and Technical Production – Acting, directing, writing, set design, and stagecraft.
- Studio and Visual Arts – Drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and stringed-instrument construction.
- Recording Arts – Music theory, recording production, and live performance technology.
Performing Arts
Each year, students take the stage in two major theater productions, two choral/band concerts, and two orchestra concerts, bringing their talents to the MUS community. From a cappella groups and jazz ensembles to technical theater and stage management, our performing arts program fosters confidence and collaboration.
Visual Arts
Working in our creative spaces, boys learn to exercise their inventiveness. With opportunities in sculpting, painting, printmaking, photography, stringed-instrument construction, set design, and more, students gain firsthand experience in the artistic process, refining their skills and discovering new possibilities.
Recording Arts
For students interested in the intersection of music and technology, our recording arts program provides hands-on experience in composition, performance, and production. From jazz bands to digital mixing, students develop a deep understanding of both musical artistry and the technical aspects of sound design.
“It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance … and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.”
- Henry James, 1915
