Music Majors

"Excellence is the standard everything else is subpar. I should surpass what has been done before because it has been done before." Kanye West

The Music Majors participate in a variety of music lessons to facilitate their personal musical interests as professionals. In this intense 3-year program, the majors continue to read and write, progress to sight-sing and sight-reading music and create original pieces.  Music majors will be responsible for performing in class and at mid-year and end of the year events. In addition, majors write research papers.  The topic will be discussed in class.

Approaching performances:
Open House
Winter Show
Talent Show
