Music
Vanguard offers a range of music options via orchestra, drumline and clubs. Whether you're an aspiring musician or simply passionate about exploring the world of music, our program provides opportunities.
This course is designed to give students with little or no experience an introduction to playing a stringed instrument, note reading, music theory, and musical expression. Instruments studied in this course are violin, viola, cello, and double bass. The beginning string ensemble performs at the Follies show in the fall and N.O.F.A in the spring. In addition, these students participate in service projects and in-school performances throughout the year.
