Forest Dale Elementary School – APPLIED MUSIC (L)

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Applied Music (Musical Theatre Repertoire) provides students with the opportunity to receive small-group or private instruction designed to develop their vocal performance skills. Instruction is designed to enable students to connect, examine, imagine, define, try, extend, refine, and integrate music study into other subject areas. A variety of music methods and repertoire, including art songs, musical theater, pop, and jazz, is utilized to refine students’ abilities in listening, analyzing, interpreting, and performing. Instruction is offered in basic vocal technique, musical theater history, microphone usage, and audition skills. A weekend workshop and Broadway show tour in New York City take place in January and are optional for each student. (Extra fees for the trip are charged separately.) Fee: $40.00 # ORCHESTRA DIVISION: The Orchestra Division of the CHS Performing Arts Department is open to all string students and selected wind and percussion students. Students must audition for placement in the orchestra class that best suits their musical needs and abilities. Auditions will be held in the spring of each year for placement in the following year’s groups. Students who audition late (after the first scheduling computer run in March) cannot be guaranteed placement in the advanced ensembles. Exceptions will be made only at the discretion of the Directors. The CHS Orchestras will represent Carmel High School on concert tours, community concerts, and the ISSMA District and State Competitions. Activity Fee: A $25.00 activity fee will be assessed to all students participating in orchestra. This money is used for music rental & replacement, among other expenses. The fee is due during the first week of the school year.
