Instrumental and vocal music at the Sitar Center provides an outlet
for individual and ensemble performance. Students have an opportunity
to build skills like teamwork while playing and singing with other
students, and they develop the ability to work through a variety
of situations as they develop the technique on their individual
instruments.

Drama
The dramatic arts at the Sitar Center provide an outlet for self-expression
through role playing, thinking strategically and situationally,
and working as a team. Drama is unique in its ability to address
issues that are normally not addressed with ease and confidence
in other circumstances.
Musical Theatre, which combines the elements of vocal music, movement,
and drama, is currently taught by master-teacher Sylvia Zwi.
