They are called upon as clinicians for groups outside our district and teach at a number of workshops and music camps. Many are active professional musicians. Many of the schools participate on a yearly basis in band and orchestra festivals where they receive top ratings in both performance and sight reading. Vocal music classes are provided at each middle school for the novice through the experienced vocalist. There is a focus on basic vocal techniques, and students perform a variety of styles from the classics, to folk, and pop literature.
Students also learn about rhythm, harmony, presentation and music appreciation.
Both instrumental and vocal music have students from each of the middle schools participate in the Honors Concert each year. An Honor Choir and Honor Orchestra are selected from hundreds of interested musicians each year who perform at the District's Honor Concert. Guest conductors from local school districts, colleges and universities have raved about the quality of musicians that perform in these concerts. Classes are also offered at select Middle Schools in guitar, piano keyboard and composition. The middle school vocal music staff is respected throughout the County and is very active in their professional organizations.
