Message
From The Directors of
the Music Department
The Belmont Music
Department offers a
holistic musical
experience to its
students, with ensembles
including Concert Band,
Concert Choir, Jazz
Band, Vocal Jazz,
Guitar, and Music
Composition. Members of
our program have
additional opportunities
to grow and learn
through student-led
small ensembles,
clinics, festival
participation and many
varied performance
situations, as well as
musical tours to places
like Banff, Whistler,
and even Cuba. In
addition, Belmont is
well known for its
bi-annual Cabaret
productions with themes
such as Travel's Abroad
and An Evening at the
Grammy's. These Cabaret
productions are
excellent solo/combo
performance
opportunities and are a
great way to raise
scholarship money. Many
of our students (Grades
10-12), have gone to
summer music camps or
taken private lessons
with scholarship money
they have helped to
raise through these
performances.
In choosing a music course as an elective here at Belmont, you are joining a team where your input is valued and the results of your hard work are shared and multiplied by the whole ensemble. Whether or not you become a musician as an adult, you will leave this program knowing the value of commitment, concentration, and self-discipline; life skills that will help you to succeed in whatever career you pursue. The administration and counselling teams recognize this and will assist you if you encounter and problems with scheduling/course selection. We thank you for your interest in the Music Program at Belmont Secondary, and we look forward to working with you in the future!
