In the past, Benilde had a somewhat restricted music program. Only two credits were offered, band and chorus. SMA on the other hand, always had an extensive program in piano instruction. The departments have combined to form a new, revitalized music curriculum that offers a wide spectrum of music opportunities including lessons, ensembles, and participation in state contests.
