Instrumental Arts
Instrumental Music classes at Christian Heritage School are open to students grades 4 - 12. Performing groups include Lower School Band, Middle School Concert Band, High School Symphonic Band and Jazz Band. The primary objective in all of these ensembles is to expose students to appropriate major works of the wind band repertoire while developing musical intellect, skill, and expression in an ensemble setting. In band, students will be able to demonstrate a progressive ability to perform on an instrument with accuracy and artistry. Each individual will also demonstrate an understanding of written musical notation. Finally, band students will discover joy and satisfaction in the process of collective music-making that points them to the Creator of all things beautiful.

The literature covered will include many genres of vocal music from the renaissance to contemporary styles. Vocal techniques, music reading and elements of music history are included in the class. The goal is to expose students to many styles of choral singing and to perform in concert both on and off campus and to teach all members to worship the Giver of Life and the Giver of our talents.
