The teachers of the primary: grades, under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Burkhblder, teach their students to sing simple songs and folplay in rhythm bands. Later interested inter- mediate students mav join the school choir or or- chestra, activities which they may continue throughout iunior and senior high school. The junior high school now has its own music supervisor, Mr. James Garrett, who di- rects -fho iunior band, orchestra, choral club, and teaches seventh and eighth grade mu- sic cla5S95.t Pupils of the ninth grade study music one period a week with Mr. Harold Shaar, Here they listen to records, learn about composers, and learn to sing with others. Students of the senior high school may ioin the choir, senior choral club, or solo club, all directed by Mr. Shaar, or they may enter the instrumental division and ioin the band, orchestra, and various ensembles directed by Mr. Donald Mease. Interested sen- iors may elect the twelfth grade general music course. Harmony, dictation, syllable- singing, and theory are only a small part of this course. Although band, orchestra and choir are electives, all Manheim Township High School students are graduated with a background in music. DONALD L. MEASE Instrumental Music JAMES H. GARRETT, JR.
