CURRICULUM: Vocal Ensembles
Both the choir and the auditioned ensembles will learn and perform a variety of material including musical theatre, jazz, pop and traditional repertoire. The programs will also include the use of choreography, staging, costumes, lighting, mics and PA systems. In addition to several performances in the year, there will be one field trip (with a fee) to a large professional recording studio where the singers will have the opportunity to record some of their repertoire. The Upper School Choir is established and new students are still welcome to join. No audition is required. This course is designed to provide basic vocal and performance training (including staging and movement) through exciting repertoire in a variety of genres. • Monday lunch (1:30 to 2:05) and Thursday lunch (1:15 to 1:50) plus performances • Full year commitment. • This is a course and as such, participants will receive a fine arts credit. There was a great response to the auditions for Jazz Vocal Ensemble. There are so many students with fabulous voices that we will now have two groups – one for the senior school and one for the middle school. The Jazz Vocal Ensemble is intended for more advanced singers who have previous musical experience in solo performance and harmony singing. It will involve advanced vocal technique, group and solo singing, staging & choreography, performance skills and mic technique. The group will perform a broad repertoire in a variety of genres.
