There are so many opportunities in Instrumental Music at NHS! We focus on excellence in performance, creativity, and student-centred learning. We have many ensembles including our large Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, Percussion ensemble, Clarinet Choir and Sax Ensemble. These opportunities evolve based on student interest. We do many performances at home and in the community - see some pics below. Please visit the Jazz Page to learn more about our exceptional jazz offerings. One of the great things about our ensembles is that you form a community across all grades/levels of experience. Read on for Course codes and info!
