THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT AT CHS IS....
-
...for singers!
Performing a wide variety of
vocal music, students in Concert Choir and Chorale
rehearse on the A/B schedule during the school day. C.H.S.
singers develop their techniques to increase voice range,
vocal tone, and ensemble blend. Concerts are given on-and
off-campus throughout the year.
-
...for band and orchestra
instrumentalists!
Ninth grade woodwind, brass, and
percussion instrumentalists of the Concert Band and
the tenth through twelfth grade instrumentalists of the
Symphonic Band and Symphonic Winds perform
traditional band music from the standard repertoire. String
instrumentalists continue the C.H.S. tradition of fine
orchestral playing in the Ninth Grade Concert Orchestra
and the Symphonic Orchestra.
Through rehearsals on a semester or year-long A/B schedule,
student instrumentalists work to increase their performance
technique and level of musicianship. Performances are given
at concerts on-and off-campus throughout the year.
-
...for students interested in guitar!
No prior guitar experience is necessary to
learn the basics of rock guitar as well as blues and folk
technique in Introduction to Guitar. Students develop
more advanced techniques, including classical and jazz, in
Guitar II & III. School-owned guitars are available
for student use.
-
...for students interested in piano!
Students in Class Piano
learn the basic techniques of piano playing. No prior piano
experience is necessary. School-owned keyboards are
available for student use in class.
-
...for students interested in music
theory!
Students in Music Theory and AP
Music Theory learn the fundamentals of music notation,
chord progression, score analysis, ear-training, and
composition. Music Theory is highly recommended for
students who plan to continue their music studies past high
school.
-
..for students interested in music
technology! Sequencing,
multi-track recording, fundamentals of computer use, and
MIDI music composition are a few of the topics explored in
Introduction to Music Technology and Music
Technology II. In a laboratory setting, students use
technology to compose, edit, arrange, perform, and record
their own music.
-
...for musically gifted and talented
students! Students in
performing ensembles may participate in the Gifted and
Talented Program. Through differentiated instruction,
these students perform music with a higher level of
difficulty than other students in the class. Solo/ensemble
performances presented during class and a concert
review/research project are part of the course requirements.
