The Rib Lake Middle School Music Department is taught by Matt Robisch, band, and Mickey Wendland, choir. Mr. Robisch has taught in our District for over 20 years, and Mrs. Wendland joined us this year.
Band 6,7,8: Band is a performance oriented class, designed to acquaint students with styles of music from many world cultures and historical periods in addition to developing individual instrumental technique. Band reinforces cooperation, dedication and responsibility to a group and encourages critical thinking, goal-setting and achievement. Students in band will learn to become well-rounded musicians with an appreciation of all of the fine arts. Concert band members also have opportunities to participate in contests and solo-ensemble activities.
Choir 6,7,8: The Middle School choral music program enhances the study of music through vocal performance. The development of the performers will be achieved through a study of proper tonal production, intonation, the care and use of the voice, interpretation, dictation and memorization. In addition, time will be spent on studying basic music fundamentals, ear training, and the history of the different styles of music to be performed. Choir members will have the opportunity to participate in solo/ensemble and festival activities.
