5 PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY Cmmunity Service Thrugh Music Mst will agree that the strngest cmmuni\es are thse that fster an aatude f service and mutual helpfulness fr the greater gd. The Cllege Park Instrumental Music Prgram is pised t be a leading schl prgram t help students learn and fully understand what it means t serve yur cmmunity thrugh yur strengths and talents. In ur case, it is music. The Cllege Park High Schl Instrumental Prgram has enjyed a rich histry f mre than fily years, and thrughut its histry, the rganiza\n has maintained a reputa\n fr musical excellence and high standards fr perfrmance. Given these facts, ur music students will cn\nue t u\lize their abili\es fr their cmmunity in the fllwing ways: Ensemble Specific Cmmunity Service Prjects Pep Band (Ftball) As we mve frward, Cllege Park instrumental music students will begin t nt nly understand what it means t serve their cmmunity, but als why it is imprtant. PROGRAM CURRICULUM The study f "cncert music" is at the cre f the instrumental music prgram. In this cntext, "cncert music" refers t the music f serius cmpsers whse cmpsi\ns are f such depth that the student may study the music fr many years, yet s\ll learn and grw frm such music. This is pssible nly with music that can be experienced n many levels. In the early stages f study, the student understands such music n a surface level at which the frm, meldy, technical challenges and cntextual meaning f the music can be experienced and appreciated. At deeper levels, the student becmes aware f the less bvius, yet cri\cal rela\nships between meldic, harmnic, and rhythmic elements elements which cntribute t the beauty f the wrk and call fr specific interpre\ve treatment. Other types f music prvide the student with a brader musical educa\n and understanding f ar\s\c expressin. Mst cri\cal t the Instrumental Music Prgram is the study f jazz. Jazz is a uniquely American prduct and represents a frm f musical expressin nt present in cncert music and ther types f music. It prvides the musician with pprtuni\es t study imprvisa\n and develp a strnger understanding f harmnic rganiza\n. Sl playing is a primary element f jazz perfrmance and assists the student in develping fcus and spntaneity under pressure. The CPHS bands and rchestras ccasinally study lighter music such as mvie/televisin themes, Bradway, and ppular tunes. Hwever, this music is nt cnsidered t be part f the cre curriculum. Students with brader interests are encuraged t seek ut sa\sfying musical experiences beynd the classrm, such as par\cipa\ng in cmmunity bands/rchestras r drum crps.! 5
