Music

"Through serious study of the arts, each student will develop judgment and appreciation for the Arts, one of the highest creations of human effort. Armed with this background, the entire rich world of art is available for appreciation and understanding." (FD 12)

D’Evelyn’s music program teaches:

  • Skills needed by the 21st-century workforce: critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication, teamwork and more
  • The logic of mathematics and the philosophy of interpretation
  • That success as an individual leads to success as a group
  • The discipline of individual practice and the pride of self-confidence
  • The importance of listening and the need for evaluation
  • The ability to face challenges and the joy of personal growth
  • The need for unspoken expression and the power of emotions

Orchestra 

Orchestra is a course offered at D’Evelyn for students who want to improve their skills and develop advanced concepts. We work on technique, intonation and rhythm reading while exploring a variety of orchestral literature.

There are three levels of orchestras grouped by ability levels. Each orchestra performs four concerts throughout the year. Students can reach higher by auditioning for honor orchestras and the pit orchestra for our spring musical. In addition, there are opportunities to participate in chamber ensembles. 

Choir

Choir is a course offered at D’Evelyn where students can participate in either the junior high choir, tenor-bass choir, treble choir or concert choir. Students develop their vocal skills including sight-reading, technique and harmony and ultimately have the honor to perform during multiple concerts throughout the year. The auditioned concert choir regularly receives superior ratings at CHSAA contests.

Tri-M

Tri-M (Modern Music Masters) is a music honor society that is open to upperclassmen enrolled in band, choir or orchestra. Through performance and community service, students in Tri-M utilize and develop leadership qualities, creativity and critical thinking.
