Classical Instrumental Music

The Classical Instrumental Music Department is an orchestral performing arts program.   Curriculum is dictated by instrument group; strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion are combined to form the primary performing ensemble.   The program offers a college preparatory environment for those students who may consider pursuing music in post-secondary education, while providing an inspiring, engaging, and fun music-making community for students five days a week.

The Classical Instrumental Music Department works in tandem with the Contemporary Instrumental Music department, providing crossover curriculum to certain instruments where applicable.  This is to fully provide a well-rounded music education for all students, no matter the path they chose in life following high school.

Classical Instrumental music is looking for students willing to build their skills through an investment of time and energy, whether they have been playing for two years or ten years.  Ideal candidates have a passion for music and seek to surround themselves with colleagues and friends who inspire them to reach new heights of academic, musical, and personal success.
