The Readington Middle School Music Department delivers group instrumental and vocal music instruction, as well as many large and small ensemble rehearsals each week. We provide a variety of performance opportunities for our students in many different musical idioms including Concert Bands, Jazz Bands, Small Chamber Ensembles, Orchestras, Vocal Ensembles, Pep Band and Musical Theatre. Readington Middle School music students perform in Winter and Spring concerts, at various public events within the Readington community, and at several festivals throughout the year including CJMEA, NJMEA and Music in the Parks.

 

 

 

Our ensembles at Readington Middle School are designed to challenge our young musicians in grades 6-8 at many different levels. We provide sectional instruction as well as ensemble and performance opportunities. Our students experience a sense of pride, a sense of accomplishment and a sense of belonging. This design is the essence of each of our performing groups.

The concert bands and string orchestras are performing ensembles that meet during school every other day. Our goal for these ensembles is to expand the technical knowledge and ability of each individual member as well as to increase music reading skills and to build a higher level of sophistication into each performance. They will explore and grow in the skill areas of technique, articulation, phrasing, and rhythm.

These ensembles are open to students by audition and rehearse after school once a week. Also, membership in one of the concert bands or orchestras is mandatory for involvement in these ensembles.  These groups also perform at festivals, and at various venues within the Readington community.
