Music
Course Description:
The major emphasis of this course is to develop student achievement through singing and vocal production. The course develops the skills necessary for ensemble singing of simple choral literature appropriately arranged for enrolled singers, develops skills in reading music notation, and provides opportunities for growth in the understanding of musical elements as applied to the music performed. Ensemble classes allow you to learn all these things while you make music as a team and have fun! All I can ask is that everyone puts their best foot forward so that we can have the best experience possible.
