3rd Grade Orchestra
Third grade string students at CCS perform in our 3rd Grade Orchestra. Each student is placed in a small lesson group and receives one in-school lesson every cycle. In these lessons, students work on learning the fundamental skills needed to play their instruments, as well as developing their abilities to read and understand music notation and perform an increasingly wide range of notes, rhythms, and techniques on their instruments.
After the students have had several lessons and learned the basics of their instruments, they will begin rehearsing together once a week before or after school. During these rehearsals, students practice playing together as an ensemble using the exercises from their lesson books, as well as short pieces featuring beginning harmonies and rhythms. By the end of their first year, the students will hopefully gain enough musical independence to be able to perform their own parts while listening to and playing with the other sections of the Orchestra.
The 3rd Grade Orchestra performs in two concerts during the school year. For more information about lessons, rehearsals, concerts, and more, please click on the links below!
