Every concert allows students the opportunity to perform solos and duets. Music at BOV provides students with a challenging and welcoming environment to excel as young artists.
MUSIC ENSEMBLES
Students will work as an ensemble to continue developing their music skills including posture, tone, technique, intonation, articulation, dynamics, blend, balance, expression, and overall musicianship. Students will study music theory concepts such as written theory, aural skills, sight singing, and composition. Music history will be explored through learning about composers and listening to major musical works from various style periods. Students will work to achieve musical goals as a group and as individuals, building a foundation for future musical experiences, whether as a performer or audience member.
