Welcome to the website for East Rochester 7-12 Instrumental Music! You'll find that the instrumental music program at East Rochester High School is different from most, and that's not by accident. The goal of this program is to provide the richest possible experience in music by challenging and encouraging students musically, creatively, and intellectually. Courses have been created, enhanced, and modified to best serve our students. From a full-time percussion course to a jazz band that is based on improvisation and arranges their own charts to an authentic experience in our full-time Irish music program, our instrumental course selection is unique. Students in grades 7-12 participate in six different  ensembles: Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band (9-12), Junior High Band, Junior High Jazz Band, our award-winning Percussion Ensemble (Drumline), and our exceptional Celtic Music Society. Mr. Gowman also directs the Elementary Jazz Band, teaches the 9-12 general music course, runs the ever popular Coffeehouse series, and is co-advisor of ECO: The Environmental Club Outdoors.

Other musical opportunities are available at the ERHS music technology lab and our in-house ProTools recording studio. Future rock stars, be sure to check out the all-new guitar page.
