Seventh Grade Orchestra
Seventh Grade Orchestra is offered to students with at least one year of prior experience in orchestra, including the completion of Essential Elements Book 2. Students will develop skills that lead to intermediate levels of proficiency in technique on their instrument. They will gain an understanding of music theory as it pertains to their instrument and continue to experience a variety of literature for the modern band/orchestra. Students will continue developing their skills in tone production, note reading (rhythmic and melodic), scales, and bowings. Emphasis will be placed on advanced techniques such as shifting, theory, two-octave scales/arpeggios/thirds, music theory, and composer history. Members will have opportunities to perform solos and small ensemble literature as well as large ensemble selections to be performed at required concerts and festivals.
