School of Music
The SVSS School of Music provides quality music education and performance opportunities in a nurturing and stimulating environment to area students in grades six through twelve who show a high aptitude for music learning and performance. Students are selected for the School of Music through audition and must have at least one year of prior training in their music discipline. By offering this innovative program, the SVSS hopes to further the intellectual and personal growth of its students through music, thus enriching the community as a whole.
Adult Education
Adult Education Lecture Series includes Upbeat with Alasdair talks which are presented throughout the year and focus on a variety of engaging musical topics, as well as the Concert Previews during the Sun Valley Summer Symphony season that feature guest speakers who give insight to the music to be perfomred that evening.
