Crawford High – Orchestra 5,6 (P) (5339, 5340)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Orchestra 5,6 allows intermediate musicians to further develop their string technique and tonal control. They will begin to monitor and modify their own pitch, diction, and interpretation independently, and evaluate performances using more sophisticated analyses. More complex musical concepts, notation, and vocabulary will be studied, including modulations, cadences, and multiple types of scales. Students will perform diverse repertoire in a variety of performance settings. They will create longer and more intricate compositions, improvisations, and arrangements of music, and improve their aural skills through transcription. The students will complete a musical career research project and draw conclusions about the context of a piece based on its stylistic features.
