Students who are more instrumentally inclined may play instruments along with the vocal performances and tracks. All instruments welcome!
Intermediate 8-9 Ensemble (Chamber Musicians): This Ensemble provides a performing environment for vocal and instrumental performers to collaborate in concerts in the winter and spring. Concerts will feature Ensemble numbers, solos, and duets. Students will also have opportunities to compose and perform their own music. Students may bring their own instruments to class to contribute to the Ensemble. All instruments welcome!
Intermediate 7th Grade Ensemble (Cadenza): This Ensemble provides a performing environment for vocal and instrumental performers to collaborate in concerts in the winter and spring.

Beginning 6th Grade Ensemble (Jaguar Ensemble): In this elective course, 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!
