Instrumental Arts

Our son has found so much joy in learning the guitar. And our family loves that music is so woven into the MVC experience. Whether it's the band playing at a football game or the orchestra playing at a concert hall, we find music that stirs the soul at MVC.

MVC’s Instrumental Arts Department develops lifelong musicians.

 

 


Learners feel the joy of playing in our spirited Mustang Band or put heart and soul into the Student Worship Band. Whatever their passion, learners are trained in both individual and collaborative musicianship. An impressive annual concert series provides ample performance opportunities.


 

instrumental arts classes

Mustang Band

The central instrumental ensemble at Monte Vista Christian School. Students will learn proper breathing and warm-up techniques, how to develop a characteristic tone on their instrument, and how to translate those skills into performing quality solo and wind ensemble literature.

Worship Band

Beginner Guitar

Students will learn the basics of playing guitar at a beginning level through studying music notation, chord symbols, and peer modeling. Students will learn how to read music notation, chord symbols, and tablature.

Advanced Guitar

Advanced Guitar is treated as an ensemble and will be held as a daily rehearsal as opposed to a lecture-based class. Students develop dexterity, fluency, facility, solid guitar technique, and improvisational skills, with some time spent learning music theory and transposition skills. 

"Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals; praise him with resounding cymbals." 

Psalm 150:1-5
