Orchestra

Middle School Orchestra

This string ensemble is for grades 7 & 8, and open to all interested students without an audition. The class meets 2 hours a week and students are expected to participate for the entire year. This ensemble prepares literature which expands students’ knowledge of technique, tone and ensemble playing. Students need to provide their own instrument (except String Bass) and private lessons are strongly encouraged, but not required. Students perform in at least 2 concerts a year, and other events as selected by the group.

(Students who are members of this group have the opportunity to audition for and participate in the European Middle School Honor Orchestra (grades 6-8) sponsored by AMIS (Association for the Music in International Schools)).
