CLASS DESCRIPTION
Students enrolled in Chorus 6 will learn the fundamentals of singing.
Students will explore and develop skills that will promote confidence in
singing alone and with others. Students will also learn how the singing voice
develops throughout their secondary school years. Songs and activities will
involve unison, two part, and some three part singing. Singing exercises will help improve music
reading ability and listening skills necessary for group singing. This will
include Sol-Feg singing and Curwen hand signs for singing the scale (DO RE ME
FA SO LA TI DO). Students in this class are expected to participate in public performances and/or performance exams each quarter.
For more information, please download the CHORUS HANDBOOK. This will explain about classroom expectations, grading, and other policies about performing in our concerts. The last page of the handout must be filled out, signed and returned during the first week of the semester.
