Northeast Early College High School – Orchestra I-IV

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

High school orchestra classes are offered for a sequential, continuing study of orchestral music. The four orchestra levels are generally a continuation of the orchestra curriculum from middle school skills. Orchestra I-IV is performance-oriented and focuses on individual as well as ensemble skills. Students develop advanced string/orchestral techniques as they study the wide range of orchestral literature. Advanced musicianship is developed through the study of instrumental techniques, sight-reading skills, and music listening. Students are expected to furnish their own instruments, although some instruments may be available for use from the campus. Rapidly progressing students may be transferred to a more advanced orchestra level as approved by the director, and as scheduling permits. Ou
