Welcome

Hello There, Music Lovers!

We have a little bit of everything for secondary students...

  • BAND: Our intermediate group for band instruments. Perfect for students coming from elementary school or students wishing to brush up on their technique. This group participates in the May Elitch Gardens Music Festival.

  • ORCHESTRA: Our intermediate group for string instruments. Perfect for students coming from elementary school or students wishing to brush up on their technique. This group participates in the May Elitch Gardens Music Festival.

  • BORCHESTRA: Our advanced, mixed ensemble of both band and orchestral instruments. Perfect for students who take private lessons and students with a solid music technique foundation. This group participates in the May Elitch Gardens Music Festival.

  • MARIMBA BAND: Our infectious, Zimbabwean marimba band will make you want to get up and dance! All of our marimbas have been student made and students learn how to play them. There is a beginning marimba band, Super Marimbros, and an advanced group, Marimbatallica.

  • SHOW CHOIR: This is a perquisite to participate in the Fall musical. Students will sing and dance their way onto the stage!

  • CHOIR: For students who love to sing we have a choir that explores all genres of music. This group participates in the May Elitch Gardens Music Festival.

  • MUSICAL: Each Fall we put on a full scale musical! Previous shows have been: School House Rock, Mary Poppins, Pippin, Shrek, Grease, The Sound of Music, and Little Shop of Horrors.

  • AUDIO ENGINEERING: The class to learn all about music production and engineering. These students become masters of our Open Mic recording studio!

  • HISTORY OF ROCK-N-ROLL: The class that delves into music and artists from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.

  • SONGWRITING: For aspiring composers and songwriters this class supports you in your creative journey. Students also learn basic music theory.


Not every class is able to be taught each semester-

it depends on student interest and the current direction of the music program.
