MVMS offers two orchestra classes: Beginning Orchestra and Squire String Orchestra.
Beginners are introduced to and taught the skills to be successful on the violin, viola, cello, or bass. By the end of the first year, students should have the skills to be successful in the String Orchestra Class
Squire String Orchestra picks up where beginning orchestra left off. Students are introduced to more advanced skills and concepts and gain more experience playing ensemble music.
Students usually supply their own instruments, but instruments are available at no cost for students who are in need of them. Please contact Mr. Anderson or Mr. Karler if you need information.
MVMS has two offerings for band. The Squire Cadet band for first year players, the Squire Symphonic Band for second and third year players (and beyond)
Beginners are introduced to and taught the skills to play flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, or percussion. Later in the year select students will branch out to a wider variety of instruments to fill out our instrumentation.
Symphonic Band introduces progressively more challenging repertoire and a wider variety of skills and concepts to prepare them for high school band.
Most students choose to rent or purchase their own instruments from a music store. The school has a variety of instruments available at no cost.
