About the Orchestra
Welcome to the CD Fulkes Orchestra! We are proud of the many honors the orchestra and the individual members have received in recognition of their excellent performances. Orchestra students develop in many areas including responsibility, self-discipline, social skills, confidence, leadership, and dependability. Participating in orchestra will give students a sense of accomplishment and pride as well as developing musical skills that will enrich their lives. We know that you will be a valuable part of the group and that you will discover the joy and pride that comes from a fine performance of good music.
Orchestra classes include the study of violin, viola, cello, and string bass. In the sixth grade, the emphasis in orchestra is on learning the fundamentals of music and the basic skills required in order to play an instrument. Mastery of these fundamental skills leads to further development of higher-level skills that will enable students to progress smoothly through the orchestra program. In the seventh and eighth grades, students continue to perfect skills while learning new and more challenging aspects of music and music performance.
