Welcome!

Music exists in our culture because it provides an aesthetic experience, which is unlike any other.  No other art form can duplicate the kind of perception that results from expressing oneself through musical performance.  The person who plays in a musical organization is paving the way for future musical enjoyment, whether it be listening or performing.

Members of our school's instrumental groups enjoy involvement in a campus organization that provides immediate identity and purpose.  Our instrumental music groups encourage and promote academic excellence.  Band and orchestra rehearsals meet during the school day, and are compatible with the student's academic responsibilities.  Members of our bands and orchestra are involved in concerts, festivals, and honor groups.

MUSIC is the most important ingredient of our instrumental music program.  Although participation provides such non-musical benefits as learning to work together, building a sense of responsibility, and feeling a sense of accomplishment in doing something well, the primary purpose of the instrumental music program is that of making music together.  

Through the making of music, all participants in the Brea Junior High instrumental music program will work towards the following goals:

- Development of an understanding of our musical heritage.

- Development of the individual's self-confidence through working as a team member.

- Attainment of self-discipline through the development of group pride.

- Respect for the feelings of fellow musicians.

- Love and respect for the process of making music together.
