CHORAL MUSIC 1-4: The high school choir is designed for students interested in studying vocal music. It is an essential part of a balanced music curriculum and consists of vocal experiences in boys’ choir, girls’ choir, and mixed choir. Emphasis is placed on the development of proper vocal techniques, the study of choral techniques, basic music theory, sight-singing, music history and literature, creative self-expression, and vocal performance. Section rehearsals may be scheduled after school to prepare for concerts and contests. Attendance at all rehearsals and performances is required. Choir placement for Choral Music 2-4 is determined through auditions held in May, August, and at various times during the school year. Students may be required to furnish some performance apparel. All level 4 Fine Arts classes receive advanced grade points (5.5) assuming students successfully completed levels 1-3. A course fee is required.
