As Xavier continues to exert effort at offering the best programs for your sons, we have recently tied up with ROS Music Center in developing music related courses for this school year. Aside from purchasing musical instruments for students’ use, we are also opening two Music courses this school year. The two courses being offered to Xavier students (Grade 5 to High 4) are as follows:
Symphonic Band |
Php3000 – 10 one and a half hour sessions |
Time: 4:00 to 5:30 PM (every Friday) |
Venue: Sports Center Mezzanine |
Inclusive Dates:
September 22 and 29, October 6 and 13, November 10 and 24 |
Course Description: The Symphonic Band is geared towards the development of Woodwind players namely: Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon and Oboe, and Brass wind players namely: French Horn, Tuba, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, and Euphonium. In addition, the symphonic band will develop percussion players to use the following: Bass drum, snare drum, xylophone, and other percussive ornaments. The performance of classical symphonic music and pop symphonic music will be the main activity of the organization. The joy of performing the music of the masters such as John Williams of Superman fame or the famous Graduation March of Edward Elgar will be the experience of the boys chosen to be in the group.
