BAND
At
Orangewood Christian School formal instrumental music instruction
begins in 5th grade with a weekly keyboard class.
Beginning in 6th grade, band is offered as an elective.
The OCS band program is unique in that the class is open to students
that play traditional band instruments, such as brass, woodwind, and
percussion instruments, as well as non-traditional instruments, such
as guitar and keyboard. Students learn music theory skills, including
note and rhythm reading, chording, and ensemble playing. There are two
performances during the year, in which students perform both
traditional and contemporary music.
