Preparatory Orchestra
|
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| $187/semester | $220/semester | ||
Our Preparatory Orchestra provides a youth orchestra experience for young musicians who are just learning how to note read with an opportunity to engage with peers in a fun and social, team-building musical experience. Through orchestral repertoire, students learn why note reading is vital to their musical journey, how to play in an ensemble and hold their own part, follow a conductor, learn when to be a soloist vs accompanist to other orchestra sections, rehearsal and concert etiquette. An orchestra of combined ages provides a safe space for older beginners who likely do not feel comfortable in a group class of younger children.

Children's Chorus
|
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| $280/semester | $330/semester | ||
The Children's Chorus is open to singers ages 8-14, who have little or no former choral experience, through placement audition. Singers will learn the fundamentals of healthy vocal production, and aural, part- independence, notation-reading, and ensemble skills; there is a special emphasis on learning audiation (i.e., to hear and understand music in the brain) skills and the development of autonomous musicians. Through developmentally appropriate vocal activities and repertoire, singers learn music in unison and multi-part voicing and a variety of musical styles and languages. Students perform in two concerts per year, in the fall and spring. All choristers must have text-reading ability.
Dr. Sarah Houghton holds an MA from New York University, a DMA in Music Education from Boston University, and has most recently worked as Director of Children's Choruses at the prestigious New England Conservatory, in Boston. She is looking forward to building a vibrant choral program at the Gifted Music School.
