THE PROGRAM
Pinole Middle School boasts a long-standing tradition of musical excellence. Currently, we offer courses in beginning band, advanced (jazz) band, guitar, and choir. The curriculum for all these courses will focus on well-rounded musicianship, with emphases on music theory, history, and sight-reading. Most importantly, we will create a musical community of artistic integrity and respect to support one another through these unprecedented times.
