Music

The Yorkville High School Music Department is proud to offer the following courses.  The department continues to expand in both student participation and in course offerings.  We offer a growing number of performance-based and non-performance based courses that cater to the most novice musician as well as those who plan to pursue music as a career.  We hope that through offering these courses we provide our students an opportunity to grow as young musicians as well as develop an awareness and appreciation of music.
