The Lynbrook School District’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts offers a comprehensive K-12 curriculum for students in music and the visual arts. The overriding objective of the program is focused on providing instruction for all students in these areas whether the goal is arts as a vocation, an avocation, or to enhance our students aural and visual awareness and appreciation of the arts. 

With the strong support of our community, the Board of Education and Central Administration we are proud to have earned the distinction of Best Communities for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation once again this year. Together with an award winning Fine Arts program Lynbrook Schools continues to provide our students with exceptional experiences in the arts.

n Nov. 7, the Lynbrook High School Concert Choir traveled to Manhattan for a day of musical theater. In the morning, they participated in a workshop that simulated a professional Broadway rehearsal, held in an actual Broadway rehearsal studio. Joshua Kenneth Johnson, a cast member from the Broadway musical “Back to the Future” taught students the vocals and choreography to the show's opening number, It's Only a Matter of Time. Afterward, students had a Q&A with Mr. Johnson to learn about pursuing a career in music and the life of a Broadway performer.

Students then attended a matinee performance of the 2024 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical, “The Outsiders,” based on the iconic novel by S.E Hinton that is read in Lynbrook English classes. Following the amazing performance, students had the opportunity to meet several cast members of “The Outsiders,” including actor Brent Comer (Darrel Curtis) and actress Emma Pittman (Cherry Valance). #OwlProud #OwlLearns
