Porter Ridge High School – World Music Drumming – Honors

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

World Music Drumming develops students’ listening skills. Students must not only listen for directions but also tones and intonation of the instrument and the part, so as to create a well-balanced, well-blended ensemble. Students also develop improvisational and drumming skills. Elective Courses Fine and Performing Arts There are thirteen arts education courses that may have honors versions. Since honors courses were designed as comprehensive courses which embrace diverse knowledge and skills, they should be built upon introductory courses. Therefore, only the level III and IV courses of dance, band, vocal music, orchestra, theatre arts and visual arts will be considered as honors level courses.
