Comments:
The Band Director provides instruction to two distinct student groups: Logic School (6th through 8th grades) and Rhetoric School (9th through 12th grades) in band. Coordinate pep bands for home football games and basketball playoffs. Music theory is reserved for Rhetoric School students.

Logic School: The teacher capitalizes on middle school students’ natural tendency to question and test what they are learning. Building upon the foundational knowledge acquired in Grammar School (stage 1 of the trivium), the teacher is expected to lead students as they challenge the truth, goodness and beauty of God’s world through methods consistent with the second stage of the classical approach to learning known as the logic stage. The instruction is deliberately structured to encourage development of critical and abstract thinking skills.

Rhetoric School: The teacher provides instruction in an educational environment where students defend a love for God’s created order as they explain the truth, goodness and beauty of His world through methods consistent with the third stage of the classical approach to learning known as the rhetoric stage. The focus here is on teaching students how to form clear, eloquent arguments, and to communicate and defend these ideas via a written and oral thesis at the end of the senior year.
