Previous experience in school instrumental groups or teacher approved. All freshmen must enroll in this choir. Placement in other choral groups is possible by special audition. This course is designed to meet the needs of students entering the choral program for the first time or those in need of further skill-building before entering an audition group. Activities include part-singing, vocal development, basic musicianship and understanding of the rehearsal process.
Emphasis is on individual development at individual rates.
No prior experience is necessary. This course is a logical continuation of the development of choral skills obtained in MHS Singers and Middle School Choirs. This course is designed around three-part women's voices and the group performs SSA music from many time periods and of many styles. Emphasis is placed on part-singing, vocal production, musicianship and understanding of the rehearsal process. Solo singing and choreographed movement may be part of this course.
