Tonight is made possible by Choral Parent Club Volunteers and Donors:

It takes a village to prepare our students for success and the future. Special thanks to our season

Mission of RJH Choir 1. The primary mission for Riverside Jr. High School Music is to nurture student

musical ability through:

Thoughtful rehearsals

Positive and productive teaching

Providing valuable musical experiences

2. While there are many secondary objectives that will also play a vital role in

developing well-rounded students and that will connect them with the vision of

Riverside Jr. High - using sound as a means to communicate the sentiments

embodied in musical works will always be the ultimate focus.

3. Music as an art has a uniquely transformative power over societies worldwide

and is often referred to as the world’s only common language. We believe that

Jr. High students are not too young to begin understanding the meaning of music

as art and its place in world culture and history. It is our mission to nurture this

understanding through teaching students how to develop their performance

abilities and by teaching appreciation of music in diverse cultures and periods.

4. In order for them to develop their abilities, students will be taught how to

demonstrate dedication and maturity in regard to their musical

development. Dedication because the skills needed to recreate music are both

numerous and complex. Maturity because once the musical technical skills are

learned, students must possess an open mind in order to understand them and

to communicate the meaning of the composer’s work.

5. Riverside Jr. High Music Department teachers believe that literacy plays a vital

role in the success of musicians. To become a true musician one must be able to

speak, write, and read about music and to obtain musical knowledge and

appreciation. Students will engage in activities that encourage them to read,

write, and speak about music - enhancing their literacy and content area skills.
