Guest clinicians in the Music Suite at South High School


In preparation for their performance at the IL-ACDA Convention tomorrow, students in The Madrigal Singers worked today with composer Michael Engelhardt.  The Madrigal Singers are currently studying his arrangement of Wayfaring Stranger.  Working directly with a composer provides authoritative insight that strengthens both the learning process and the final product.


Students in the bands at South High School are working with Steven Steele, former Director of Bands at Illinois State University.  The focused teaching on active listening had a positive sonic impact on every ensemble today.

Great sounds and fabulous learning experiences coming from the Music Suite today!
