Music Department Learning Expectations
Grades 9-12
Cambridge Rindge and Latin School

The philosophy of the Music Department is to provide an opportunity for all students to receive a comprehensive music education. Through the study of a wide range of music literature (concert, baroque, classical, folk, jazz, rock, etc.) students can become intelligent consumers, producers, and/or creators of music. The high level of motivation required for performance courses is an invaluable asset to educational growth. School performances and community service which contribute to developing a sense of responsibility in students are an integral part of the music activities. Music is important for the total education of all students.  Cambridge provides music, accessories, and use of high school owned instruments free of charge. Solo, ensemble and chamber music performances are encouraged. We welcome new students as well as those who have performed in previous years.
