Welcome to gowmanmusic.com
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.
