Chorus Overview:
In Chorus, we focus on:
- Singing together in a performance-oriented setting
- Basic score reading
- Following your own part in a traditional musical score
- Understanding how to see the upwards and downwards directions of note reading in a more complex setting
- Understanding measure numbers
- Transferring mindsets (optimism, persistence, flexibility, resilience, empathy) to a musical ensemble setting
- Learning and being exposed to music of various styles and cultures both familiar and new
- Learning basic healthy vocal (singing) technique to express the specific needs of a song
- Singing in unison and in parts
- Learning music both through sight (reading music) and aurally (call and response/by ear)
- Opportunities to volunteer and audition for solos and small groups, as appropriate in the repertoire
- Opportunities to volunteer to play instruments, as appropriate in the repertoire
- Gaining a basic understanding of how your voice works (what's the science and anatomy, anyway?) and learning to tune into what your own voice is doing
