High School Orchestra Classes
Chamber Orchestra (CO – 6th period –
permission by instructor) Students will strengthen music fundamentals
including rhythm, reading and counting system, tonality, scales,
scale construction, tone production, style, and musical terms,
as well as appropriate attitudes and behaviors. Students will
perform in a large group, smaller ensembles, and may occasionally
prepare literature for performance with the orchestra or symphony.
Symphony Orchestra (SO – 5th period
– permission by instructor) This course will continue to
develop technical, ensemble, and performance attitudes and skills
at an ever increasing level. While the class is primarily a performance
class, it will also provide enhancement through a study of the
historical, cultural, and aesthetic background of the works being
performed. Performance opportunities will include full symphony
and string orchestra literature in addition to providing some
small ensemble and solo experiences.
