Grades: 7, 8
Full Year Course


Chorus is a performance course in which students are taught to sing with good voice quality, to use proper breath support in singing, to sing in harmony with others and to control aspects of tempo, rhythm, and pitch. A variety of musical compositions helps students gain an appreciation of the many possibilities of mood, expressive quality, and style. Students will be expected to learn to follow their individual vocal part and develop an awareness of musical notation. Each year chorus rehearsals culminate in two required evening performances.

Students will have the opportunity to audition for regional music festivals. Those selected have the privilege of performing with other outstanding student musicians and working with well-known area conductors.
