Orchestra rehearsals and lessons are all during the school day!
String Orchestra is for students in grades 9-12 and emphasizes the performance of string literature of all genres. Literature is selected to develop the students’ skills in ensemble playing, tone quality, intonation, and overall musicianship. Students will also enhance their listening skills, music reading, interpretation and solo performance. An awareness of string music history, appreciation and careers in music are also incorporated throughout the course. Students are required to participate in additional after school rehearsals and performances. Students will have rehearsal daily as an orchestra as well as mandatory rotating lessons once a week. Doing Orchestra in 9th grade will take care of your visual & performing arts graduation requirement!
