Kennedy High School Music Program currently offers 6 music classes: Symphonic Band, Beginning Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Beginning Guitar and Beginning Piano. Over the past two years our program made tremendous improvements. We now have a strong base of traditional band classes like our rapidly expanding symphonic and beginning bands, but also offer pathways for beginners and students that play modern instruments. Six years since the program was brought back, we now offer a comprehensive course of study that turns beginners in to skilled musicians over four years. We are growing roots, but there is still so much work to do. My vision is that Kennedy High School will be synonymous with a strong , flourishing music program and that every student that loves will find a home in our music building be part of our band family.
