Welcome to Chorus!

Chorus is an engaging and enriching musical experience that focuses on vocal development, choral repertoire, music theory, and performance. This course is designed to inspire and nurture the musical talents of our students, fostering teamwork, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for choral music. Don't worry if you're feeling a bit nervous; every voice is a unique instrument, and together we'll create beautiful harmonies that resonate with joy and passion. Whether you're a soprano, alto, tenor, or bass (or somewhere in between), your voice is valued and important in our choir family.

    • You will be asked to sing America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee) or “Happy Birthday”
    • Vocalizes to determine your range

    • Your placement hearing will last about 4-5 minutes

    As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

    Thank you,

    Robin
