Choirs
The SSES Choir Department is devoted to creating a positive change in the world by cultivating the art
of choral music in the lives of its students, the spiritual life of St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, and in the
broader community outside of SSES.
The SSES Choirs focus on techniques of musical expression. By exploring a sequential and
developmental music curriculum that builds musical skills and understanding, SSES choir members will
gain a wide variety of quality artistic experiences each year.
Participation in choir yields:
1. Aesthetic appreciation of music and poetry
2. Stronger ability to sight-read
3. Continued development towards strong, mature vocal quality
4. Development of tonal memory
5. Development of self-confidence and pride on stage
6. Mastery of diverse choral literature
Through choral music, we affirm the mission of St. Stephen’s Episcopal School. We strive to mold artists
who value the potential and dignity of every human being.
