CSH ORCHESTRA

My goal is that your student finds Orchestra challenging and a worthwhile learning experience.  Students that participate in superior orchestras, learn more, develop better self-discipline, responsibility, and take pride in performing.  Excellence takes a commitment.  We should not allow ourselves to strive for anything less.

It is important for students to improve and grow as musicians.  They will enjoy performing and become more knowledgeable and competent players. 

Throughout the year students will be challenged in many ways.  Much of the information is covered in the Student Handbook.
