Beginning Choir builds on the knowledge, skills, and understanding developed in elementary school. Students experience the team-building, work ethic and varied repertoire of singing in unison and in parts, with an emphasis placed on proper vocal techniques and sight-reading skills. Students will have concert performances as well as singing for festivals/events. (BOYS CHOIR 6 #0772- based on enrollment). Though it may be primarily 6th Grade, it may expand to any new choir student

Choir students learn the techniques of correct vocal training in order to develop and strengthen the singing voice. The basics of sight-reading and music theory are also taught. Students’ placement in choir will be through skill assessment and scheduling consideration. Choirs in 7-8th grades will be arranged by the director, based on skill level, to every extent possible. Members of the choir participate in concerts, festivals, Region Choir and UIL competitions. They also may have the opportunity to learn preparation of solos to sing in the UIL Solo and Ensemble competition or in class recital. (BOYS CHOIR 7 #0773; BOYS CHOIR 8 #0883)
