8th Grade Orchestra is a performance-based course which requires student participation in day and evening performances. This class requires a commitment to more performances than Beginning and Intermediate Orchestras. Through appropriate literature, students will increase their ability to apply the fundamentals of music. Students will learn vibrato, advanced rhythms, and bowings. Students will understand music as a form of communication which will expand their ability to listen, analyze, discuss, and appreciate this art form.
Full Year Prerequisite: This course is designed for string students who have successfully completed Intermediate Orchestra or the equivalent. Placement will be determined by the instructor. Auditions maybe necessary.
This course can be multi-grades
