Everglades City School – Orchestra 6 Honors (PF)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students with substantial orchestral experience focus on mastery of advanced music skills, techniques, and processes through study, rehearsal, and performance of high-quality orchestra literature. Students may be required to attend/ participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend and assess learning in the classroom, which leads to a grade. Advanced string players self-diagnose and consider multiple solutions to artistic challenges based on background knowledge of the repertoire, and explore creativity through composition, arranging, and/or use of technology. Focus will be on the independent interpretation of level $^ { 5 + }$ orchestra music; refinement of tone production and performance techniques, musical form, style periods and aesthetic perceptions. The student will keep a portfolio and will meet with the music director to discuss the requirements of this course.
