About Mr. C's Classes

In my classes I strive provide all students with a comprehensive, standards-based music education.
I believe the study of music fosters artistic development, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the pursuit of life-long learning. Through performing, creating, responding and connecting to music, all students develop individual skills, realize a sense of belonging, and establish connections to the community. 


There are courses that provide a variety of experiences for students of all abilities and musical backgrounds. These courses are designed for students who wish to pursue music as an avocation as well as those planning a career in music. 

Students enrolling in performance groups accept the obligation to participate in all scheduled concerts and rehearsals. Students may only be excused with the instructor’s approval. In addition to the courses listed below as Honors Level,  acceptance to this Honors Program is based on a student audition and portfolio, both of which will be reviewed by Mr. Carniaux.
