Finding Your Voice: Choir Ensemble

Ages 8-15

What can we say, being in a choir is fun! During each six-week course, choir students will work

on 1-2 pieces that they will perform together at the end-of-quarter showcase. Students can expect

to do vocal warm-ups, learn how the voice works, play rhythm and ear-training games, and, of

course, sing! The only prerequisite for this course is a love of music – no previous music

experience required!

Students should bring a folder and a pencil to each class so they can mark

their music and write down which song sections they should practice each week.

Learning Goals:

Develop foundational vocal skills, including warm-ups, vocal technique, and expressive singing.
Strengthen musical understanding through rhythm, ear training, and ensemble activities.
Collaborate with peers to prepare and perform choral music in a showcase setting.
