What is The Crowden School and what grades does it serve?
The Crowden School is a full academic day school specializing in the musical growth and education of children in grades four through eight. The most distinctive characteristic of Crowden is that each child is required to play a stringed instrument (violin, viola, cello, or bass) or piano. The Crowden School is unique in that it balances both a rigorous academic and music program. The Crowden School is a division of the Crowden Music Center, a nonprofit organization that serves as a vital musical hub for the Bay Area, with over 6,000 individuals attending classes, workshops, rehearsals, concerts, and other events each year. For information on our many community programs, please contact the Crowden Center for Music in the Community office at ccmc@crowden.org or 510.559.2941.
