Ninth Grade Girls' Chorus

Course Number: #8863

This beginning level chorus is an excellent introduction to the Collegiate Academy Vocal Department. It does not require an audition and is open to all freshman girls. In addition to preparing choral selections for concert performances, portions of the class are conducted in the manner of a group voice lesson. Singers will focus on the basics of building correct vocal and choral techniques and will receive instruction in breath control, the development of a clear and open vocal tone and vocal range expansion. Music-reading skills – including beginning sight-singing, rehearsal techniques and singing groups harmonies – will be addressed. In addition to improving individual vocal skills, the group dynamics of this class provide a wonderful vehicle for the development of friendships and a sense of belonging. Pianists may audition to serve as accompanists.

Prerequisites: must be able to sing on pitch; some choral experience is helpful but not necessary
