Rhythm
At CSN, academic excellence extends beyond the traditional classroom. Music plays an essential role in developing thoughtful, creative, and well-rounded learners. It teaches students to listen deeply, collaborate meaningfully, and create something beautiful from silence. Through practice, discipline, and perseverance, they discover that hard work can lead to extraordinary rewards. Music connects us in ways words cannot, giving students a powerful language for expression, imagination, and understanding. It strengthens the mind, touches the heart, and invites students to experience the world in entirely new ways.
At CSN, we have an elite music faculty that includes professional musicians and educators with years upon years of performing and teaching experience.

Our Music
Throughout the year, CSN students of all ages share their musical talents through a vibrant series of performances, from Lower School choral recitals to Upper School Jazz concerts on Fifth Avenue South.
It's Been a Long Long Time - Studio Youth Jazz Orchestra
A tribute to the great trumpet player Harry James and his orchestra. This is performed by band and orchestra students involved in the Trial-M honor society at Community School of Naples a long with Dr. Chapman.
Upper School Orchestra
The Upper School Orchestra fills the courtyard with the sounds of a moving musical selection, creating a memorable moment for the CSN community. Take a listen and experience the artistry, emotion, and dedication our student musicians bring to every performance.
Upper School Jazz Virtual Project
As part of a special recording project, Upper School Concert Jazz Band students individually recorded their musical parts before bringing them together into one complete performance. Through the experience, students gained firsthand insight into the intricacies of the music recording process and had the opportunity to collaborate with special guest Lee Thornburg, an acclaimed Los Angeles studio musician and former member of Tower of Power.
