Welcome to Cassell Fine Arts School's Music Page.
At Cassell, we offer many different opportunities for our students to perform, create, and enjoy music. Every student at Cassell receives General Music instruction from Kindergarten through 8th Grade. In the General Music classes, students learn to read, write and perform music in addition to studying, analyzing and interpreting music from different times, places and cultures . Students who would like to take their music education a little further are welcome to join one of our many performance ensembles that take place during and outside of the regular school day. In these ensembles, student will have opportunities to work on their ability to perform and create music at a higher level both in and outside of the school. Spring IS Coming (We promise!) As the Days are now getting longer (and hopefully warmer), Cassell is planning more Music Programs for the rest of the year! Coming up this Spring we have Family Fine Arts Night, All City Choral Festival, the Choral Robing Ceremony, Chicago Jamfest, Disney's Aladdin Jr, the K-5 Cassell-A-Palooza and more! As we transition in to the Spring Semester, any children interested in joining the Concert Choir, Symphonic Choir and Wind Band will be welcome to sign up when we get back from Winter Break. |
