Major components include fundamentals of vocal technique and artistic interpretation of choral music. Three laboratory hours per week. The course may be repeated each semester.
Emphasis is on appropriate choral discipline and high quality vocal technique and musicianship.
The final grade depends on attendance and participation in all rehearsals and performances during the semester. Attendance at all rehearsals and performances of the University Chorale is expected. Members of the Chorale will receive one letter grade reduction for every two rehearsals missed without permission of the instructor. Chorale members on scholarship will lose their scholarship after missing three rehearsals without the permission of the director. Behavior appropriate to rehearsals is expected.
