The Iolani School Performing Arts Department offers a balanced program in the areas of Band, Orchestra, Stage Band, Chorus, Dance, and Theatre. Some courses may be repeated for credit. The department presents performances to the school and community groups. Ensembles travel extensively to the mainland and to foreign countries.

The Iolani Arts Academy program offers after-school classes in dance and theatre, and private lessons in voice, piano, wind, percussion and string instruments.

Piano students are encouraged to join a performing arts group. While learning to perform with a group, they may have opportunities to further their piano skills by playing accompaniment parts in band and orchestra ensembles. Students may also choose to participate in one of the three stage bands, and audition for the Iolani Orchestra Concerto concert. Some band and orchestra instruments are available for rent from the school for the school year or the summer. Please call the Music Library at 943-2244 for rental fees and more information.
