As choir is an elective for 1st quarter, only those assigned could participate. Beginning October 19th, any middle schooler (grades 6-8) may join! Rehearsal times are still in the works, but will more than likely be before school a few times a week. Sign ups for choir will be posted outside the music classroom in the beginning weeks of October.
In our first month of school, the choir has been working on lots of different singing techniques such as breathing together, attacking and releasing consonant sounds together, rhythms and posture. The music we have been working on has only been for all school masses, but as the semester goes on, concert music will be in the works (it's only September, but Christmas tends to sneak up on all of us!).
On top of singing, the choir has been learning bits and pieces of music theory and about different topics of vocal health so they are well equipped to keep their singing voices in tip top shape.
