Orchestra

Klahowya Orchestra affords the opportunity for string players to advance their playing abilities through ensemble experience, individual or small-group lessons, and allows the opportunity for students to pursue additional performing experiences (solo/ensemble, community orchestra, etc.) outside the classroom setting. Students have the opportunity to study a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular depending on the ensemble and solo/small group literature programmed.

The program is designed to help students develop an appreciation of music, build skills for efficient practicing, follow a conductor, increase music literacy-including reading music, recognizing articulations and musical styles, and understanding musical terms. Emphasis will be placed on exposing students to a variety of performing experiences and music in which to apply these skills.
