Concert Choir
Singing holds a special place at St. Gen’s. Everyone sings! Because of our school’s commitment to prayer through singing, we sing every chance we get. And whether male or female, freshmen or senior, singing in the choir is great fun. The music is a mix of traditional and contemporary and there are opportunities for both individual and group performances through the year.
Band
Open to all students who can play a musical instrument, the pep band performs at school activities including rallies and sporting events. The band is primarily student-driven. Under teacher supervision, students select the music they want to play and establish their own practice schedule at school. In addition to enthusiasm and commitment, requirements for participation are: a desire to play in a group; a willingness to teach others what you have already learned; and, a readiness to learn from others.
Drama
Drama introduces students to a wide variety of theater arts learning experiences. These include character analysis, narrative interpretation and public performance. There are numerous opportunities for creative expression and personal growth through exposure to set and costume design, stage management, blocking, lighting, sound and other performance-related components.
Music Appreciation
Music Appreciation presents students with an introductory survey of music history. Through the study of music theory, structure and notation, students learn how to read music and play simple melodies on the piano. Critical listening skills are developed as is a familiarity with the instruments of the orchestra. Folk instruments of selected cultural/national groups are examined. Field trips include 4-6 symphony orchestra concerts each year.
Art
Art examines the history of visual art as an expression of the human condition and experience. Students work in two- and three- dimensional media, learning the techniques and skills required to effectively use art to communicate their understanding and vision of the world. They explore the components of visual art (i.e., color, perspective, composition, style) and gain an understanding and appreciation of the importance of art to the individual and to society.
Video Production
Video Production exposes students to film and television. Students learn camera skills, editing techniques, script writing and produce and direct their own films and commercials which are aired daily on the schools television station. They also perform in front of the camera. Students use sound samples as well as cutting-edge special effects in their productions and have many opportunities for creative expression through video and film. |
