Mahoney Chorus

About this class

Chorus is an elected related art for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who enjoy singing.

Students in chorus are learning to become independent musicians WHILE learning to be a part of an ensemble, that works as a team to create music. We sing a variety of music including pop music from movies and artists today, as well as music from around the world and classical pieces! Our goal in chorus is to sing wonderful music, relay the message of composers and lyricists to our audience, & to have fun.

When is Chorus?

7th and 8th Grade Chorus: Days 2 and 4 during WINN in Room 203
