Jaguar Percussion
Jaguar Percussion is the 6th Grade Music Ensemble. This is a vocal and percussion-based beginning Ensemble. We perform classical and contemporary works. Solo and duet opportunities for Concerts and Showcases are available to all students.
Art History and Practice: Music: In this elective course, 6th Grade students will be introduced to the study of music history and theory concepts. The concepts learned from the historical and theoretical components of the course will be supplemented through various performance-based activities (instruments, singing, improvisation, dance/movement, etc.). Students will develop technical skills on their instrument/voice as well as ensemble skills in order to perform music together as a group. Students will work on note reading, rhythm, musical terms, and overall musicianship. Music theory concepts to be studied include basic written theory, aural skills, sight singing, and composition. 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 as an audience member. All instruments welcome!
