The Music Program at Sotomayor has its foundation in the belief that the study of music helps students to develop their potential, gives them an understanding of their own culture and the culture of others, and provides a unique vehicle for achieving excellence either alone or in cooperation with others.  Some discover talents leading to careers in music and related fields; all will find that music can enrich their lives. Music is intellectually stimulating and challenging.  Music is a discipline which expresses and elicits feelings that are emotionally compelling, while at the same time challenges the mind to think and process information innovatively and creatively. For these reasons, we strive to offer a strong and comprehensive program of music instruction -- including general music, various performing groups, and diverse elective offerings.
