FAIRFIELD CITY SCHOOLS MUSIC CURRICULUM

	Fairfield’s Performing Arts programs, including choral groups, bands, orchestras and Thespian presentations, can boast of state, regional and national recognition and commendation, regularly participating and winning Grand Champion honors in invitation-only events and competitions.
Upon completing their general music requirement in fifth grade, roughly 50 percent of Fairfield’s sixth- through eighth-graders continue to participate in instrumental and chorus classes and performing groups. 20 to 25 percent of Fairfield’s High School students continue these musical experiences. The result of such active participation and commitment among students, staff and parents (The Tempo Club) is an unsurpassed level of achievement. In grades 5-12, the Fairfield Schools offer students opportunities to join 13 concert, marching and jazz bands, seven symphonies and orchestras, nine concert & show choirs and glee clubs and the Thespians. Whether in concert or competition, these groups – from the Fifth-Grade Glee Club and Middle School Rhythm Express to the High School Chamber Winds and Wind Ensemble – sustain Fairfield’s tradition of excellence and our district’s state and regional reputation as a leader in the performing arts.

The Tempo Club is an organization for the top music program in Ohio. It is a group of parents, students, and teachers that supports all aspects of the Fairfield City School District music program in grades 7 through 12. This support includes chaperoning, fund-raising, photography, sewing, building, equipment moving, and anything else that may be needed.
