Orchestra is a year-long class available to Lovinggood students. The only beginning level class is for 6th graders, so 6th grade is the time to join! 7th and 8th grade orchestra build upon the skills we learn in previous years, and offer up new opportunities like advanced groups or trips.
The orchestra includes the string instruments that are played with a bow, but there are also times when we pluck the strings. Our instruments usually make people think of Classical or Fiddle music, but we also learn to play pop, rock, jazz, blues, and movie music.
