At Valley Stream Union Free School District 30, we believe that a well-rounded education includes a strong foundation in the fine arts. Our students are guided by dedicated and talented educators who specialize in art and music, fostering both creative expression and cultural appreciation.

  • Art instruction emphasizes hands-on experiences and skill development, while also introducing students to significant artists and movements throughout history. Students explore various mediums and techniques, cultivating both technical ability and an understanding of art as a form of personal and cultural expression.
     

    People view artwork at an art show, with digital displays and colorful drawings on the walls.

  • Music classes provide students with a comprehensive understanding of music theory, performance, and history. Lessons incorporate the study of traditional music elements alongside the exploration of music's cultural and social relevance.

  • Students have the opportunity to participate voluntarily in our band, strings, and chorus programs.
     

    • The band program introduces students to brass, woodwind, horn, and percussion instruments, building both individual proficiency and ensemble collaboration.
       

    • The strings program offers instruction on the violin, cello, and bass, with a focus on technique, performance, and musicality.
       

    • The chorus program supports students in developing strong vocal technique and performance skills.
