DA CAPO
At this entry level, singers develop basic musical literacy and other skills, often utilizing Kodaly principles, through exposure to a broad variety of musical styles. All singers begin with a personal placement interview in order for the director to determine the singer’s needs.
- Tuesdays, 4:00-5:00 pm – conductor: Yuliya Myers
CRESCENDO
At this level singers explore international art music, folk, pop and jazz while developing skills in unison and part-singing, while increasing musical literacy and vocal technique.
- Tuesdays, 5:15-6:15pm – conductor: Yuliya Myers
CONCERTO
Singers with greater solo and ensemble experience focus on a higher level of performance. Members share in the selection of repertoire and in musical direction while learning advanced solo and ensemble skills.
