Jazz Residency 2017

DGN Fine Arts was pleased to welcome four nationally acclaimed jazz artists to campus today to work with students in the DGN Jazz Ensemble & Jazz Lab Band. Tim Coffman, Jeremy Kahn, Marlene Rosenberg & Bob Rummage shared their passion for music in a series of day-long clinics and master-classes.

Many thanks are extended to the DGN Fine Arts Boosters for their generous support of the event.

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music, theatre, and visual art in a wide variety of creative settings. Program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are: To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results; To intentionally study music, theatre and visual art from cultures and communities that have been historically under-represented; To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level; To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
