Centralites
Centralites is a one hour class that meets five times a week in the Music program at Central Kitsap Junior High. This class of 8th and 9th grade girls and boys is part of the excellent choral music program which has developed at the Junior High School.
In addition to preparing and presenting four programs for the public during the school year, this class will provide each student with advanced skills in reading a musical score at sight, singing with a pleasant tone through proper vocal production a background in music theory as it applies to choral music and opportunities for musical and personal growth in one of the advanced areas of the curriculum.
The activities of the class are carried on in the regular school day. It is not a Glee Club where music is learned only as a vehicle for performance, but a regular class in which performance is a result of the development of those skills necessary to the sequential learning process which is part of musical development.
The members of this class feed
directly into the choirs at each grade level from ninth to twelfth grade. These
students will have the opportunity to represent their school and community in
the activities of the Olympic Music Educator’s Association competitions held
each year. These opportunities include the choral music festival as well as Solo
and Ensemble competition.
