Non-Performance Classes
Our non-performance classes are an access point to music classes for students who are not interested in a traditional performing ensemble experience. Guitar, Music Production, Rock Band, Singer's Studio. and American Music History are open to any student regardless of prior musical experience, while AP Music Theory is an excellent elective for students with a strong musical background who are ready to take their learning to the next level.
Guitar I
Guitar II
Geared towards students with little to no previous guitar experience, students will learn tuning, chords, strum patterns, note reading, and how to play in a variety of musical styles. Guitar II introduces additional skills, such as fingerpicking and ensemble playing.

This dual-credit class through College of DuPage requires no musical experience as students explore American history through a new lens. What music was enjoyed by the first American colonists? What would you have listened to as a teenager during the Civil War? How was music used as a means of protest during the 1960s? This class is transferable to most colleges and universities as fulfillment of a fine arts gen ed credit.
For students seeking a deeper understanding of music, this year-long class prepares you for the AP Music Theory exam and prepares future music majors for college-level coursework.
