Discovery Orchestras

Discovery Orchestras give students a means of self-expression through music, builds a sense of community and pride, and exposes students to a variety of musical cultures.  We do this through large ensemble rehearsals and sectionals, as well as through our performances.  Students learn life-long skills that they will use regardless of the life path they choose.

It's time to gear up for the new school year!  Here's what you'll need:

All Orchestra Students:

• Pencil

• Rosin

• Soft, cleaning cloth

• Violin/viola—shoulder rest/sponge

• Cello/bass—Rock Stop

• Your instrument!

Books by grade:

Orchestra method books for sectional class

6th Grade:

• Sound Innovations book 1

7th Grade:

• Sound Innovations book 2 

• Orchestra Expressions book 2

8th Grade:

• A 3-Ring Binder (preferably 1" or smaller) 

***Extra method books will be available for student use in the classroom.  However, students should purchase their own book from a local music store.  Books are made available for those students with a financial need.
