Gelinas Middle School and Murphy Middle School offer a plethora of musical experiences for all students. Students have the opportunity to be enrolled in both an instrumental ensemble (Band or Orchestra) and Chorus, all of which are a part of their school schedule. They also have the option of taking Music I and Music II (General Music) for an alternative music experience. Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Band and Orchestra will have one full ensemble rehearsal every other day in their schedules, and will also attend regularly-scheduled small group lessons on a rotating basis. Students in 8th Grade Chorus will also attend small group lessons. Lesson groups are assigned according to instrumentation for the particular ensemble.
Our middle schools also offer many extracurricular music ensembles and opportunities, including multiple mixed choirs, Wind Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, Jazz Band, and a full-scale musical production. There are countless ways to become (and remain!) involved in Middle School Music in Three Village!Â
