  3. To serve as a cultural resource center in music for the students and the larger community of Nassau County by sponsoring performing ensembles and presenting concerts.

Facilities

Facilities for the Music Department include two piano laboratories containing 12 electronic instruments plus an instructor's console. A computer laboratory is available for student tutorial work. Several studios are available for Applied Music instruction. Several soundproof practice rooms, each equipped with an upright piano, are available for individual practice sessions. A large performance space is available for ensemble rehearsals, performances and recitals.
