Chamber Choir

CHAMBER CHOIR: This is an auditioned ensemble of approximately 36-48 singers.   This is a co-curricular class with expectations of participation outside of the school day.  Throughout this course students are taught advanced music theory and college level classical music repertoire.  Thorough understanding of vocal technique is expected.  This course involves performance in all school choir concerts, performance of a major choral work in the winter, and participation in area concert choir competitions and activities. Ensemble and solo activities are designed to develop elements of musicianship including, but not limited to, tone production, technical skills, intonation, music reading skills, listening skills, analyzing music, and studying historically significant styles of literature.  One year of another high school ensemble (preferably a choir) is a prerequisite for Chamber Choir.  There is a nominal costume rental fee for participation in the course.
