About concert choir
Objectives: This choir is open to all interested students, no audition required. Students of all levels of choral experience will study a variety of musical styles with the incorporation of music theory, basic sight reading, music history and vocal technique. Students will strengthen their skills in solfege and are expected to perform on all major concerts.
Methods: Students will learn through participation in performance, in-class activities (sight singing exercises, basic composition, close-reading, sectionals, performance reflections) as well as through their individual labs. Vocal labs are on a 10 to 12 day cycle and are required of all Concert Choir students. Labs give each student a chance at individual growth and include specific goals according to their skill level.
Course Importance: This choir offers anyone an opportunity to be a part of a positive singing experience as well as sharpen skills needed for singing opportunities outside of the school day (church choirs, community choirs, etc.) Singing is a life-long learning opportunity and students will find the support they need within the experiences of this class.
