Riverside Jr. High Choir - MISSION 1)  The primary mission for Riverside Jr. High Choir is to nurture student musical ability through: Thoughtful rehearsals Positive and productive teaching Providing valuable musical experiences. While there are many secondary objectives that will also play a vital role in developing well-rounded students and that will connect them with the vision of Riverside Jr. High - using sound as a means to communicate the sentiments embodied in musical works will always be the ultimate focus. 2)  Music as an art has a uniquely transformative power over societies worldwide and is often referred to as the world’s only common language.  We believe that Jr. High students are not too young to begin understanding the meaning of music as art and its place in world culture and history.  It is our mission to nurture this understanding through teaching students how to develop their performance abilities and by teaching appreciation of music in diverse cultures and periods. 3)  In order for them to develop their abilities, students will be taught how to demonstrate dedication and maturity in regard to their musical development.  Dedication because the skills needed to recreate music are both numerous and complex.  Maturity because once the musical technical skills are learned, students must possess an open mind in order to understand them and to communicate the meaning of the composer’s work. 4)  Literacy plays a vital role in the success of musicians.  To become a true musician one must be able to speak, write, and read about music and to obtain musical knowledge and appreciation.  Students will engage in activities that encourage them to read, write, and speak about music - enhancing their literacy and content area skills.
