Grade 9 students are encouraged to join but must first email Mr. Ziegler (nziegler@saanichschools.ca) to discuss skill level. Students must be able to read music at the advanced level and may have to audition for this course. It is of utmost importance that the group is balanced (6 Sopranos, 6 Altos, 6 Tenor and 6 Bass voices).

If you love to sing and want to sing at a high level with others then this is the class for you! Students should have a keen interest in singing jazz and pop. Emphasis will be on jazz articulations, improvisation, microphone technique and on-stage performance. This ensemble will have the opportunity to perform frequently and solo performances are expected. Extra rehearsals and performances are considered part of the curriculum.

This is a year long course and is offered outside the timetable.
