IACS HARMONIUM ORCHESTRA INFORMATION (9th - 12th graders)
Students enrolled must play a string instrument (violin, viola, cello, or string bass). This class focuses on musical creativity, project management and leadership and collaboration. Students will be graded on participation, homework and personal improvement. At home practice is required and self motivation and initiative are a MUST.
To ensure a solid education foundation for playing an orchestra instrument, students will need to continue with their Orchestra instruments. Please have an instrument by the first day of school. It is VERY important that students practice at least 5 days per week. Otherwise, it will be easy for a student to fall behind.
