About voice
Objectives: Participation in this choir is determined by auditions yearly. Students will build upon basic sight singing skills and vocal technique. Students will sing individually, in small groups and in the large group setting, meeting high performance expectations.
Methods: Students will learn through participation in annual concerts, community performances and district/state competitions. Clinicians will be brought in according to availability. Individual labs are a requirement and are scheduled on a 10-day cycle. After-school rehearsals are scheduled on an as-needed basis. In-class activities (sight singing exercises, basic composition, close-reading, performance reflections) will also be a major part of the learning process. Many of our performance include the use of choreography. Traveling opportunities will arise throughout the school year and are required.
Course Importance: This choir offers a choral participation opportunity outside of the normal school schedule and allows for a more dedicated and non-traditional approach to a school choral education. Participation in community events and rated performances help create a team-based learning experience, where group success is directly related to the hard work and perseverance of the individual.
