A message from our Chorus Teacher, Mr. Hackley...
I am delighted and honored to be your new chorus teacher at Andrew Jackson High School this school year! Whether you have never sung before or sing all the time, we will aim to create an environment that will help all feel comfortable to experiment with their voice and be expressive in their singing and artistry.
As a member of the Andrew Jackson High School Choral Program, students will participate in a variety of musical activities and share many performance opportunities this year. We will strive to develop our musical skills and our voice, as well as study and appreciate a vast selection of choral repertoire. Students will be focusing specifically on music literacy, sight reading skills, solfege, tonality, blending, balance, vocal production and technique, performance skills, singing and movement, cooperation, team-building, and many more valuable skills.
I am truly looking forward to creating beautiful music with everyone, and looking forward to what this school year has to offer. Go Vols!!!
