Welcome to the Award Winning Passage Middle School Music Department

 

 

We hope that you are as excited to join the Passage Music Family as we are to have you!  We really do believe that our students are part of our music family and we enjoy working with them everyday!  

 

There are many resources on this website that will help you to have a better understanding of what it means to be a part of our Passage Music Family.  Take a look at some of the resources below and check out the band, orchestra, and chorus programs at Passage Middle School!!

 

Please see the resources we have listed below!  Also, here are some brief definitions that will help you to navigate your way around the music world!

 

Definitions

 

Ensemble:  A group of musicians, for example, the band, the chorus, and the orchestra are all ensembles.

 

Director:  The teacher for the ensemble.  Mr. Bell is the Band Director, Mr. Roberts is the Orchestra Director, and Mrs. Powell is the Chorus Director.

 

Student Musicians:  The students who are a part of the Music Department at Passage Middle School.  We have Band, Orchestra, and Chorus Musicians.  (This would be YOU!!).

 

Parents:  The Parents are an important part of the Music Department.  Together, they create an organization called the Parent Boosters.  The Parents support YOUR efforts as musicians.  Without the teacher-musician-parent three-way partnership, success cannot easily happen.  Therefore, the parents are very important!

 

Handbook: The Music Department Handbook has all of the information you need to know about being in the Music Department.  All musicians should read the updated handbook each year!
