What do we do in choir?
The purpose of the Graham Choirs is to provide students with an exemplary choral music education, and to develop artistry, cultivate connection, and inspire joy.
We aim to reach our mission through vocal and musicianship training, appropriate/ inspiring repertoire, games, community building, outreach, performances, travel, and fun.
We aim to bring together the Graham community in the performance of great music shared and celebrated by all. We aim to provide memorable musical experiences that last a lifetime.
How can you help?
Get involved in the Graham Performing Arts Committee, which is a subcommittee of the PTA. We meet monthly on Zoom to plan fundraising, performance events, and report out on all of the performing arts groups!
Also...DONATE! Please consider giving a donation of any amount to Graham Performing Arts. With these donations, we purchase, sheet music, repair instruments, have our students attend adjudication, bring in clinicians, and pay for performance travel. All donations are spent on the music students and help to provide a fantastic experience.
Daily Rehearsal Skills
Daily Rehearsal Skills
Most of a students' choir grade is based on their rehearsal skills. They are skill building daily and so full daily participation is necessary for growth. Students are being graded using the following rubric.
