Welcome!

Welcome to the Berea-Midpark Orchestra program. Whether you are just beginning your journey in instrumental music, starting the year as a Senior in the BMHS Symphony Orchestra, or a parent or grandparent of one of our orchestra students, this is your portal for information pertaining to all aspects of being in Titans Orchestra!

In our classes we learn all about playing the instruments, music theory and note-reading, famous composers, and music in different cultures. Most importantly, we need to remember that music creates meaning in our lives and allows us to be expressive. Music facilitates human contact and the imagination of possibilities, tying it to our social and emotional nature. We learn as individuals, but we learn how to function in a group- much like a sports team does- and find connection in our shared experiences together in class and within the community.
