Concert Orchestra is a class for students who are ready to study three-octave scales and traditional orchestral music. Students may remain in the Concert Orchestra throughout high school or use it to prepare for the Chamber Orchestra. Students must be able to read music well, and comfortably perform two-octave scales, vibrato, Spiccato, and play in tune up to fifth position. A higher level of maturity and self-discipline is also required of students in this class.

A students current grade, work ethic, and student performance will help determine their recommendations for the following year. A final decision about placement will be based on the final performance and end of the year exam. Please refer to the handbook for more information.
