This course is a year-long elective for singers in grade 9 through grade 12. Students will rehearse three full-length formal concerts, in addition to smaller performances in school and at off campus venues.

During each rehearsal we will devote time to proper vocal production, breath support, embouchure, tone quality, and diction during warm-ups. We will work on exercises to increase skill in the areas of aural skills, music theory, and sight-singing.

Music study is academic but it can also be a great outlet for expression and creativity, a community builder and an opportunity for student leadership.
