Orchestra is a dynamic, three-year course where Lanier Middle School students can learn to play the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Students are provided several performance opportunities per year and participate in field trips and adjudicated competitions. These talented students have achieved superior ratings at state of Georgia events as well as Music in the Parks in Tennessee! Students in Orchestra learn to read music, develop excellent technique on their chosen instrument, work collaboratively in chamber music and string orchestra ensembles, and develop a lifelong love for music.
