Children's Chorus Singing Lessons

The Children's Chorus is open to singers ages 8-13, who have little or no former choral experience. 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.
