Symphonic Orchestra is offered to entering 9th grade orchestra students who display the proper amount of proficiency on one of the four standard orchestral string instruments (violin, viola, cello, and bass) and 10th-12th grade students as a continuation of their previous orchestral experience. Educational emphasis is placed on the advancement of instrumental technique, further development of music reading and comprehension skills, independent musicianship, style, and a deeper understanding of small group ensemble music, and orchestral literature. A wide variety of music is explored, music theory and music history are introduced, and analysis and composition allow the orchestra student to learn how to create their own music. In addition, students will develop a strong sense of musicality and a team mentality that will set them up for success as they graduate from high school and enter the workforce. Students are required to practice at home daily and attend all required performances.
