Chorus
Music is essential to a creative and productive childhood; it gives children a successful method of expression, helps with the development of coordination and motor skills, and can be used as an enjoyable aid to learn other academic material. In secondary-level students, music helps foster life skills such as dedication, discipline, perseverance, and time management, and provides meaningful opportunities for self-discovery and growth. However beneficial and true these reasons may be, they are not nearly as important as this final one: at all grades and ages, the study of music instills a creative curiosity, as well as yearning and appreciation for the aesthetic experience.
Throughout this year, students will be able to craft and develop a coherent musical intellect, improving upon their vocal abilities, music literacy, listening skills, and performance techniques. They will participate, create, and respond to music in a variety of contexts and methods. They will also discover and discuss the qualities of an excellent choir, and consequently learn how to exemplify those qualities. Ultimately, I want to foster an appreciation and love for music in parents and students alike, and there are few ways better than through a choral performing ensemble.
