Ensembles
The music program at Central High School is part of a comprehensive fine arts program. Led by John Currey, Jennifer Currey, and Ann Marie Morisette, the program attracts over 300 students participating in a variety of musical experiences. Opportunities include choir, concert bands, jazz ensembles and combos, pep band, marching band, and orchestras.
The educational philosophy of the program focuses around a strong emphasis on sight-reading, which provides exposure to a great variety of music and a way to achieve musical proficiency and independence. The program also broadens students’ musical perspectives by directing students to an array of music education opportunities: referring students to private instruction and summer camps, encouraging attendance at concerts, making professional recordings available for listening and providing exposure to guest artists to work with students.
