Students develop knowledge of choral music through the following four strands at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, and artist levels. These strands are outlined in the Music Program of Studies. In addition to vocal skills, choral students learn to work as a team while developing an appreciation for music, poise, and self-confidence. Choral directors strive to teach each student to become a knowledgeable consumer of vocal music. Many of our high school graduates continue to sing in university choirs, participate in community ensembles, become music educators, or pursue a professional career in vocal performance.
Choral singing adds enrichment to lives and is a vital piece of a liberal arts education.
