Specialized Music Program

RHS Band

The Specialized Music Program provides your child with the opportunity to realize his/her full potential through the exploration of the exciting world of music!

Rosemount is proud to be the only English High School in Montreal to offer this special program. Our dynamic performance-based program meets and exceeds the required competencies for the Quebec Education Plan. Students are involved in all aspects of music-making; creativity, composition, performance and value.

 

 

All students enrolled in the Music Program will learn the following through in-school, and extra-curricular classes:

  • Play an instrument/participate in a band
  • Develop their singing voice
  • Use various types of music technology (including computers)
  • Use basic piano skills and compose their own music on MIDI stations using synthesizers
  • Understand and experience music from diverse cultures from around the world and ethnic communities in the Montreal area
  • Learn the theoretical and historical basis of Western European music

Students starting high school in secondary 1 are not required to have any previous musical training. All instruments and musical materials are provided by the school.
