Students who love to sing will love Treble Choir. Besides teaching proper vocal techniques, this performance-oriented class gives students many opportunities to sing formally on and off campus. Treble Choir members are invited to audition for the Virginia State Honors Choir, District Chorus, and All-State Chorus. They can also participate in the Virginia Association of Independent Schools Choral Festival. The Treble Choir's finest singers audition for this small, select vocal group.
Students sing a variety of pieces written especially for small ensembles.
Participation means two additional days of rehearsal each week. The Ensemble performs frequently off campus, most recently in New York City and London. Like visual art, music has its own language, style, and history. The better the students' understanding, the deeper their appreciation. This course explores periods in music's development, studies famous performers, and illustrates how music influences our daily lives.
