2nd period - Modern Musicianship

Modern Musicianship 

Modern Musicianship meets second period and is for students interested in playing music they listen to. Genres include, but are not limited to: Rock, Alternative, Banda Sinaloense, Electronic, and Hip-Hop. Students will work in collaborative groups and perform in the community and in district-wide music events. Students will learn the how and why the music they listen to sounds the way it does. 

Due to the large number of students, high-tech equipment, and modern music uses the practice rooms in the music room the most, students in Modern Band are expected to be able to work independently and in small groups efficiently. Responsibility and accountability are huge in this class. However, the motto of “work hard, play hard” also applies.
