The music program is a diverse learning opportunity for any student. Students can learn to play an instrument or study voice in an ensemble setting, or choose to create music digitally.
Currently, we have 5 classes of music that will provide you with course credit: Choir, Jazz Band, Beginner, Intermediate and Senior Band; We have 2 Clubs: Drumline and Music Production. With enough interest, clubs can turn into credit courses the following year.
There are leadership opportunities within the Music Program through the Music Council (see above tab for more information). Each music class or ‘ensemble’ will have leadership opportunities such as being a section leader, these students are relied upon to mentor their peers.
