Theory & Technique
Each Rock Band and Jazz Band learns about music theory related to their performance repertoire. The theory instruction offers
theoretical concepts used in the recorded versions of the songs and are complimentary to regular music theory studies.
Learning Groove & Styles
Learning grooves and styles develop rhythmic awareness, enhanced group dynamics and sensitivity to performing with a band. All
students will learn about groove and specific styles related to each performance song.
Music Reading
Scores or lead sheets, for each song, are provided for each student. Music reading is an important part of group performance;
students are encouraged to develop musically while having structure within the reading applications.
Practice Routines
Practicing at home is crucial to the success of the band as a whole. Students are required to practice band repertoire daily and meet
the requirements set forth by our syllabus and the instructor's expectations. Our teachers assist our students who participate with
our bands in their weekly music lessons.
Students in our bands are required to develop well-rounded practicing habits that include theory, rhythm exercises, reading,
technique and improvisation and analysis of each song. Developing a meaningful and multifaceted practice routine, with the
assistance and guidance of our music teachers, will enable significant success for each student and the band. Students and parents
are encouraged to speak with the Director for guidance on efficient practicing techniques.
Performances
Our bands and ensembles perform approximately 2-3 times per school year and our Rock Band IV, Advanced - Part 2 records a demo
in a professional recording studio with a record producer and recording engineer. Our rock bands have performed at Bridgewater,
New Jersey's Somerset Patriots TD Bank Base Ball Stadium during the stadium's Music Appreciation Night!
