ABOUT THE PROGRAMS
SJCCA Chorus:
The Choral music program at RJ Murray Middle School provides excellent opportunities for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Students will explore performance and production, site reading, historical and cultural elements of music, and music appreciation. Students in SJCCA chorus will have several performance opportunities throughout the year. Participating in a chorus, combined with the abilities learned in music theory, piano, and voice training, helps young students develop the discipline, tenacity, and poise necessary for success in the arts. Their learning will culminate with many public performances throughout the year.
Guitar:
The Guitar program at RJ Murray Middle School introduces students to the fundamentals of music. Students learn the Classical finger-picking style, as well as learn a variety of chords and strumming patterns. Guitarists will transfer between tablature and standard notation and even will have the opportunity to explore electric amplifiers and basses. Students will demonstrate efficient rehearsal strategies and apply skills and techniques to an ensemble setting. They will learn music in a variety of genres and culminate their learning with a public performance.
