The music program is a diverse learning opportunity for any student.\u00a0 Students can learn to play an instrument or study voice in an ensemble setting, or choose to create music digitally.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 With enough interest, clubs can turn into credit courses the following year.<\/p>\n

There are leadership opportunities within the Music Program through the Music Council (see above tab for more information).\u00a0 Each music class or ‘ensemble’ will have leadership opportunities such as being a section leader, these students are relied upon to mentor their peers.<\/p>\n
