6th Grade Choir



This choir is designed primarily for beginning and intermediate choral instruction. It will provide an understanding of the fundamentals of proper vocal techniques, choral techniques, and music theory (as it applies to singers).  We will also focus on learning the musical language, developing music literacy, and learning about various styles of music. Students will also be prepared for future membership in continued vocal music participation. There will be three performances, one at the end of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter, each school year.
