Bell
Middle School Music is an award winning music program in the San Diego
Unified School District. Our talented band and orchestra students have
ranked in the superior rating
for the CMEA Southern Border Section for the past 8 years. Our music
program aims to provide a variety of performance opportunities for our
students that include performing at Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.
New to our program is the mariachi ensemble. Mariachi
class provides another creative outlet for students to understand music
through Mexican folk songs. Although it is in its beginning stages of
development, our mariachi program has had the opportunity to have guest
lectures given by Dr. Jeff Nevin (professor
of mariachi) and Willie Acuna (harpist for Mariachi Sol de Mexico).
Whether
it's band, orchestra, or mariachi, our students are provided a
well-rounded standards based music curriculum that sets them up for
success in the performing arts and
beyond.
