Vocal Jazz

What we'll learn

This course is designed to educate students in the performance of a wide variety of styles of jazz, pop, and modern music.

Students will also. . .

  • learn more about the history and theory of the music they sing

  • develop technical skills to build and maintain a healthy vocal system

  • read, write and notate music using standard and non-standard notation

  • evaluate their performances and performances of others using musical vocabulary and evaluation criteria they have determined for themselves

  • analyze the technical, emotional and musical content of their music

  • perform a diverse array of music in a variety of venues throughout the community

Vocal Jazz performs the National Anthem frequently for WUHS and community events.

VJ members are expected to clear their work and personal calendars to be available for these performances.
