1 Music Handbook Jordan Yi Director of Music Jefferson High School 4145 Samuelson Road Rockford, IL ext
2 Introduction Welcome to the Jefferson High School Music Program! This year we will embark on an exciting journey towards musical and academic excellence in our classroom. The musical opportunities that are available to our students are created to demonstrate the wealth of talented and motivated individuals we have at Jefferson striving for one specific goal; success. With daily fundamental preparation implemented into these opportunities, we will reach a high level of success together and become well-rounded musicians, students, and members of our community. Studies in music show that students who participate in music perform better academically, receive lower disciplinary actions, and become more involved in school both in curricular and extracurricular activities. The processes, lessons, and values that are taught through music cannot be taught in any other course. We are excited to have all of you involved in the Jefferson High School Music Program and hope that you all take advantage of the opportunity in front of you. Please feel free to contact me by phone during my office hours provided below or by at any time. I look forward to a great school year. Sincerely, Jordan Yi Director of Music Jefferson High School 4145 Samuelson Road Rockford, IL ext
3 Mission Statement Our mission is to provide a quality interactive learning environment where students develop into lifelong, independent musicians who demonstrate a mastery of musical skills and possess the leadership qualities required in today s ever-changing world. Music Department Goals In order to provide the most comprehensive music program possible we are striving to add several classes to our course offerings in the near future. We are also looking to become a strong competitive force in the state and national music scene. However, without the student interest and infrastructure to support such large ensembles our ability to accomplish our goals is diminished significantly. With your assistance we will be able to increase the interest in the following ensembles and events. - Orchestra (separate class from band) - AP Music Theory - IMEA All-State Performances - Solo and Ensemble - Band of America Regional Marching Band Competitions Teacher Website The Teacher Website contains all calendars, event, class, and other important information and will be constantly updated throughout the school year. Please check this website, student and parent , and parent portal for all updates frequently. Teacher Website Link:
