The musical courses at Wayland Academy encourage individual and group learning. The students study different musical styles, develop techniques for their own instrument and/or voice, learn to evaluate music, are able to identify origin of classical music, learn practice and performance techniques, and develop their own stage presence for solo and ensemble performing. Music students participate in many programs both on campus and in the community. Students also may participate in the Wisconsin State Solo and Ensemble Competition each year. The honor of giving a year-end recital is extended to those students whose level of expertise is exhibited during an audition with the final selection to be made by the music faculty.
