About Vocal Jazz and Pop
Objectives: Students will be introduced to pop and vocal jazz singing techniques.
Methods: Rehearsals will consist of many listening sessions in order to help students make style considerations. Students will also be able to recognize and study some of pop and jazz’s most distinguishable artists. By both listening and analyzing recordings, students will be able to more easily apply concepts and techniques to their singing. Students will be expected to perform at both the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert and will also be offered a chance to compete at Solo and Ensemble.
Course Importance: This course offers students an experience outside that of Concert Choir. The focus is on contemporary and popular music, giving students a chance to explore non-traditional music genres.
