2023-2024 

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
