The development of musical skills, knowledge and perception contributes to the total development of the individual. Music is accessible to all, and as students become sensitive to its expressive elements, they may develop insight into human feelings.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC 10/20/30
This course is a full year course, with instruction occurring every second day. The Instrumental Music Program is designed as a sequential and developmental approach to music instruction. Junior high band experience is an asset, though beginners may join the class provided there is a demonstrated commitment to practice outside of class time. This program is open to all students and involves instruction using a range of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments.
GUITAR (GENERAL MUSIC) 10/20/30

This course is aimed at the novice player but students with some experience are welcome. Students will be required to have their own instrument to take the course. Steel string acoustic guitars are acceptable - no classical guitars please.
