Kevin Hebden, Director of Performing Arts at the American School of Barcelona


Performing Arts are an integral part of school life at ASB. Students receive curriculum Music lessons PK3 - Grade 3. In grades 4 and 5, all students learn to play a wind or string instrument in Band or Orchestra classes. In Middle School, students focus on Band, Orchestra or Theater. In High School there are Music electives for grades 9 and 10. IB Music is an option as part of the IB Diploma program. Alongside curriculum Performing Arts, ASB offers a wide range of activities; Musical Theater productions, Choirs, Bands, Dance, Drama and instrument lessons are taught through enrichment and after school programs. There are many performances throughout the year, which parents are encouraged to watch. We are members of AMIS and ISTA and participate in national and international festivals and have links to performing artists and establishments in the local  and international community.

In 2022-23 There will be some major developments in the MS curriculum, we will be welcoming an extra full time music teacher and we will be extending our Theater provision, both curricular and extra-curricular.
