Foundations Singers is a non-auditioned ensemble open to all students. This ensemble performs under the direction of Mrs. Sarah Wahl, and is the foundation of our choral program at FIHS. This course emphasizes the development of basic vocal techniques and skills including: good posture, tone quality, breath support, diction, and attack and release. Attention is given to the understanding and practice of basic elements of music including music reading skills. Students may have the opportunity to sing in foreign languages while studying a variety of styles of choral music. Vocal independence is emphasized in the performance opportunities that will be given. This is considered a beginning level class. Students will have the opportunity to audition for advanced choral classes after completing Chorus 1 and 2 (Foundations Singers). Concerts and in school performances are an expectation of this course.
