Band Information
Seventh Grade Junior High Band
In 7th grade, band students meet every day in like-instrument classes (Flute/Oboe class, Horn class, Low Brass class, etc.) Since we start band later than most other schools, this specific , targeted instruction allows students to gain skills rapidly to catch up with their peers.
Students perform at least 4 times throughout the year at TCA and also an off-campus band festival. As each performance approaches, students gather for 2 mass rehearsals held after school to put all the sections of the band together.
“The music becomes you, and you become the music.” – TCA student
Practice is necessary for the acquisition of any new skill. Junior High band students document their practice outside of class at least 4 times per week for 10 – 15 minutes as part of their grade.
Students interested in learning an instrument in 7th grade must complete the instrument selection process (no obligation) May 9-11. Please click here or visit (https://signup.com/go/hMeWYHU )
Choir Information
Vocal Music Program
TCA’s Vocal Music program is focused on developing the skills and disciplined habits needed to create beautiful and worthy music while building community and caring relationships. We take a comprehensive approach to the study of music. On a typical day in 7th Grade Choir, students learn the basics of vocal technique, practice fun ways to read music notation, grow in musicianship and aural skills, and enjoy time singing great music with other choir members.
7th Grade Choir classes meet 2 to 3 times per week with study hall on the alternate days. Classes will be split by voice part to help give more individualized attention to harmony parts and changing adolescent voices. Choral repertoire consists of varied styles of music which are presented at winter and spring performances. Prior to concert days, small classes combine into larger ensembles for the final stages of repertoire preparation.
