popz orchestra

The PopZ Orchestra is a second orchestra elective open to 8th grade orchestra students with a year or more of experience or 7th graders (audition only) with significant experience.  Since it is a "second" orchestra elective, it means that the students in the PopZ Orchestra also participate in a regular orchestra class.  Many of the PopZ Orchestra students use this class to learn a second instrument!  In PopZ Orchestra we only play alternative styles of music such as; Pop, Jazz, Rock, Hip Hop, etc.  

WHAT WE DO

PopZ Orchestra meets every day during the school day just like your other orchestra classes.  PopZ Orchestra mostly a student-led class.  That means there is a teacher, but no conductor.  Students learn how to play alternative music in an ensemble that's led by the musicians!  So cool!  The PopZ Orchestra performs at the Brookdale Retirement Home, Sam Ash Music Store, Theater at the Fort and MORE!

WHAT WE LOVE

PopZ Orchestra kids LOVE PopZ Orchestra!  This alternative styles class gives students so many opportunities to share their talents.  Field trips, electric instruments and alternative styles of music are just a few of the reasons that kids choose to be in PopZ Orchestra.
