Chorus
Chorus is for students in grade 4 and 5. Chorus is a fantastic opportunity to begin developing the young voice. In class, we will learn vocal techniques that include vocal warm-ups, physical warm-ups, vocal exercises, solfege, sight singing, music reading, 2-part harmony, memorization, expression, and choreography. Your student will be part of an ensemble that works together to create a harmonious vocal experience. Students involved in the chorus program are expected to have good school attendance, good behavior, a good work ethic, work well with others, have good grades and be responsible. Participation in the choral program will be reviewed if grades and/or behavior fall below expectations.
Chorus enrollment happens 2 times per year. Students may sign up in September and January each year. Students that enroll in September participate for the entire school year. The chorus performs 2 public concerts per year; one in December and anther in May.
ENROLLMENT IS OPEN NOW FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER. New students can join the chorus program by visiting Mrs. Burd during the school day for an Enrollment form.
Chorus Spring Concert
The Chorus Spring Concert will be on May 28th. More information will be posted closer to the concert date.
