Music Electives Registration Info

5th Grade Choir Info 2026-2027

Choir is an elective open to all incoming 5th grade students regardless of previous choir participation or music knowledge. Anyone who likes to sing should join!

We will sing many different styles of music throughout the year. We will also learn about vocal technique, study music theory, and practice sight-reading. Additionally, students will have small group vocal lessons during the school day to develop their individual vocal skills. Students in choir will have extra opportunities outside of school including Opus Honor Choir, Show Choir and the Musical. 

Choir at Vernon Middle School meets during school, for one class period, 2-3 times per week throughout the school year. Choir and band meet on opposite days so students are able to be in both band and choir, and students are highly encouraged to do both. Participation in the 5th grade choir includes three evening performances. 

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to singing with you!
